Overview

The Attwood Marine 5095-10-7 is a 12-volt bi-color stowaway pole light with an integrated task light for boats up to 39.6 ft. (12 m). It uses a 10 inch straight pole and shows a 225 degree red and green navigation light visible for 1 nautical mile, while the separate task light adds focused light at the bow for rigging lines, handling tackle, or checking gear after dark.

This light suits boats that use a removable bow light and need a little extra working light at the front of the boat without adding another fixture. The housing is polycarbonate that resists impact and UV exposure, and the pole uses a 3-pin locking collar connection to stay seated in a compatible base.

Key features

• 12-volt bi-color navigation light with a separately switched task light in the same assembly
• 10 inch straight pole for a low-profile bow setup that still lifts the light above nearby hardware
• 225 degree red and green light output with 1 nautical mile visibility for boats up to 39.6 ft. (12 m)
• 3-pin locking collar pole for use with a compatible 3-pin plug-in base
• Polycarbonate housing that resists impact and UV exposure
• Rear rubber push-on switch for task light operation at the bow
• Meets USCG CFR 183.810 and ABYC A-16 requirements
• Combination light requires a 1-amp fuse, and the task light requires its own 1-amp fuse on a separate circuit

Installation and setup

This model is built for a standard 3-pin pole-light installation on a 12V system. The navigation light and the task light do not share the same switched feed, so the bow wiring needs a fused 12V feed for the combination light and a second fused 12V feed for the task light.

For proper placement, the base should be mounted as far forward as practical on a surface that is smooth and free of obstructions on the gunwale, deck, or superstructure. On boats using a conventional navigation-light layout, this bow light works with a three-position switch arrangement for running lights, anchor light, and off alongside the boat's all-round light.

Compatibility and fit

The 10 inch pole is a sensible match for skiffs, center consoles, bass boats, and other layouts where a removable bow light needs to clear nearby deck hardware without using a much taller pole. The locking collar matters on boats that see regular trailering or bow vibration because it helps keep the pole engaged in the base instead of relying on a loose drop-in fit.

This is a good fit for owners replacing an older 3-pin incandescent bow light and for anglers who want navigation lighting and a small work light at the bow in one assembly. It is not a complete base-and-light kit, so the boat needs a compatible 3-pin base already installed or added separately.
