TACO Marine Rub Rail-Mounted LED Navigation Light Set, For S11-4650, 4 in, 12-14VDC, IP68, 2NM, Port and Starboard Lights

Overview

The TACO Marine F38-6710 is a 4 inch by 1 inch rub rail-mounted LED navigation light set for boats that need low-profile port and starboard running lights built into the rub rail area instead of taking up deck space.

This set is made for use with TACO Marine S11-4650 hollow back stainless steel rub rail applications and uses a polished stainless steel cover for a clean match with the rail. It includes a red port light and a green starboard light, with low-voltage 12-14VDC operation for typical 12V boat electrical systems.

The lights provide a 112.5 degree unobstructed view and are certified for ABYC and USCG approved 2 NM navigation light use. The IP68 water-resistant rating helps the set handle spray, washdowns, and exposed bow or gunwale mounting locations.

Key features

• Rub rail-mounted 4 inch by 1 inch LED navigation light set for a low-profile installation on compatible stainless steel rub rail setups.
• Sold as a pair with one 3-watt red port light and one 2-watt green starboard light.
• Made to fit TACO Marine S11-4650 hollow back stainless steel rub rail applications.
• Certified for ABYC and USCG approved 2 NM navigation light visibility.
• 112.5 degree unobstructed light output helps keep the side navigation arc clear with less glare.
• 12-14VDC operation suits standard 12V marine electrical systems.
• IP68 water-resistant rating supports use in exposed marine locations subject to spray and washdowns.
• Anodized aluminum heat sink helps manage LED heat during operation.
• Heavy gauge polished stainless steel joiner cover gives the installation a clean look against stainless rub rail.

Compatibility and fit

This light set is intended for boats using the S11-4650 hollow back stainless steel rub rail profile. It is a practical fit for bay boats and other small to midsize powerboats where keeping the foredeck clear matters, especially when lines, anchors, trolling gear, or fishing space compete for room at the bow.

Before installation, confirm the rub rail profile, available mounting space, wire routing path, and the required navigation light position for the vessel. The set is listed for boats up to 30 feet, so it should be matched to the boat size and navigation light requirements before purchase.

Installation and setup

The lights mount into the rub rail area and require hardwiring into the boat’s low-voltage DC lighting circuit. A protected wire path through the rail or hull area helps reduce chafe and keeps the installation tidy.

Use #8 stainless steel fasteners for mounting, as the fasteners are not included. Seal penetrations carefully and route wiring so it is protected from standing water, sharp edges, and vibration.

Electrical and visibility notes

The red port and green starboard lights should be wired and positioned so each side keeps its proper navigation arc. The LED output compares to a 10-watt incandescent light while drawing less power, which is useful on boats where lighting loads share the same battery capacity as electronics, pumps, and other onboard equipment.

This set is a good match for owners refitting a compatible stainless rub rail, replacing older side lights, or cleaning up the bow area without moving away from required red and green navigation lighting.

What’s included

• One 3-watt red port LED navigation light.
• One 2-watt green starboard LED navigation light.
