Overview

The Attwood Marine 5122-08-7 is an 8 inch all-round fixed-base pole light for boats that need a permanently mounted white navigation light on a bimini top, radar arch, or hard top. It gives 360 degree coverage with 2 mile visibility and is sized for boats up to 39.4 feet (12 m).

This model uses a black composite base, an aluminum pole, and a white frosted globe lens. The short pole length works best where the mounting point is already elevated, which makes it a practical fit for many pontoon tops and arch-mounted installations.

Key features

• 8 inch fixed-base all-round pole light for permanent mounting
• 360 degree white light with 2 mile visibility
• Suitable for boats up to 39.4 feet (12 m)
• Black composite base with aluminum pole and frosted globe lens
• Base footprint measures 2-1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide
• Mounts with two required #10 fasteners
• Includes a 9 watt wedge-base lamp

Installation and fit

The compact base helps when mounting space is limited on a bimini top frame plate, radar arch pad, or hard top bracket. Before drilling, check that the surface can accept the 2-1/2 inch by 1 inch base and that there is a clean path for wiring below the mounting point.

Because this is a fixed-base light, it stays in place rather than plugging in and out between trips. That makes it a sensible choice for boats that keep an all-round light mounted full time and want a simple layout with fewer removable parts to store.

Use on board

This light suits pontoon boats especially well, and it also fits many center console, dual console, and pilothouse setups with a hard top or radar arch. It is a good match for owners replacing a worn fixed stern or all-round light and wanting the same mounting style with a short pole that does not add unnecessary height.
