Overview

The Attwood Marine 6356D7 is a round flush-mount transom light for pleasure craft that need 2-mile, 135-degree stern visibility in a compact 3 inch housing. It uses a 304 stainless steel cover with a plastic body and a watertight lamp socket, which makes it a practical fit at the transom or on an aft bulkhead where spray and routine washdowns are part of normal use.

The translucent body throws light through both sides of the mounting surface, so it can also add useful light inside an aft compartment or around the cockpit. That makes it a sensible option when you want a stern light that keeps a clean exterior look and still adds some extra onboard visibility in the area behind it.

Key features

• 2-mile, 135-degree transom visibility for pleasure craft up to 164 ft. (50 m) in length
• 3 inch round flush-mount design that keeps the installation low profile at the stern
• 304 stainless steel cover with a plastic body and a watertight lamp socket
• Translucent body throws light through both sides of a bulkhead, which can help in aft compartments and cockpit spaces
• Rubber gasket seals the lens and body to the mounting surface
• Includes one 7.5-watt lamp and two stainless steel #10 screws

Compatibility and fit

This light suits boats that need a flush stern light rather than a pole light or a larger surface-mounted fixture. The 3 inch round face works well where space at the transom is limited or where owners want a cleaner finish on the stern.

It also fits installations where the back side of the mounting point faces an interior compartment or cockpit area that benefits from extra light. Its main role is still stern visibility, but the translucent body can make the same mounting spot more useful on board.

Installation and use

The included stainless steel #10 screws and gasket keep the installation straightforward on a suitable mounting surface. The gasket helps seal the light against the transom or bulkhead, which matters on boats that see regular spray, rain, and washdowns.

This is a good match for owners replacing an older round transom light with a similar style, or for new installations that need a compact stern light with a flush appearance. It is especially useful when stern hardware needs to stay tidy and every component at the aft end of the boat has to make practical use of its space.
