Perko 1048 Threaded Collar Pole Light Base, 2-Pin, 5° Rake, For 3/4 in Poles

Overview

The Perko Fig. 1048 is a 2-pin plug-in pole light mounting base for Perko all-round pole lights that use a 3/4 in. threaded collar pole. It is built for deck or gunwale mounting where a removable navigation light pole needs a secure electrical base and a clean finished appearance when the pole is not installed.

This base uses a 5-degree pole rake, pigtail leads, and a water-resistant slide cover to help protect the socket when the light is removed. The base measures 3-1/2 in. x 2 in. and uses #8 mounting screws, which gives installers useful reference points before cutting, drilling, or replacing an existing base.

Key features

• 5-degree pole rake supports the intended light angle when mounted on a flat deck or cap surface
• Water-resistant slide cover helps shield the socket when the pole light is removed
• Pigtail leads make the electrical connection straightforward during replacement or new installation
• 3-1/2 in. x 2 in. base footprint with #8 screw mounting for installation planning
• Available with chrome plated brass and black polymer or stainless steel and black polymer finish combinations

Variants

This pole light base is offered in two finish configurations. Both variants are the same Fig. 1048 2-pin plug-in base style for 3/4 in. threaded collar pole lights.

The finish is the main difference between the variants. The chrome plated brass version gives the base a bright hardware look, while the stainless steel version suits installations where matching other stainless deck fittings is important.

• 1048P00DP: Chrome plated finish. This version pairs chrome plated brass with black polymer for a classic polished deck hardware appearance.
• 1048P0SDP: Stainless steel finish. This version pairs stainless steel with black polymer for a look that matches many rails, cleats, and other stainless fittings on board.

Installation and fit

Before installation, match the base to the pole light style, pin count, and threaded collar connection already used on the boat. This is especially important when replacing an older navigation light base, because a 2-pin base must be used with a compatible 2-pin pole light rather than a different plug pattern.

The pigtail leads connect into the boat’s navigation light circuit, and the water-resistant slide cover should remain closed when the pole is removed. Mount the base where the pole light has the required visibility and where the underside of the mounting surface allows clean wiring access.

Use on board

This base is a practical fit for boats that use a removable all-round light for anchoring, running light configurations, or stern light setups, depending on the vessel’s lighting layout. It works well as a replacement base when the existing socket, finish, or cover is worn, or as part of a new installation using compatible Perko pole lights.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
