Perko Vertical Mount Stern Light, 12V, 2nm, Flush Mount, Polished Stainless Steel

Overview

The Perko 0946DP1STS is a flush-mount stern navigation light for 12V DC systems on sail or power vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft.) in length. It is USCG 2 nm certified and uses the included 10 watt bulb, with listed draw of 0.74 amps.

This version has a bezel in polished stainless steel and a black polymer base. The housing measures 3 inches outside diameter, 1 inch deep, and 1-15/16 inches high, so it fits well on transoms and aft bulkheads where space is limited and a round flush light is preferred.

Key features

• Vertical flush-mount stern light for sail or power vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft.)
• USCG 2 nm certified for the stern-light position
• 12V DC operation with included 10 watt bulb
• Listed current draw of 0.74 amps
• Bezel in polished stainless steel with black polymer base
• 3 inch outside diameter, 1 inch depth, and 1-15/16 inch height
• Uses #8 mounting screws

Compatibility and fit

This part is for boats with a 12V navigation-light circuit that need a dedicated stern light rather than an all-round pole light. It belongs on a vertical surface at the stern, and the compact round footprint helps when replacing an older flush light or working within a tight mounting area.

Installation and setup

Check the available space before ordering, especially the 3 inch outside diameter, 1 inch depth, and screw pattern for #8 fasteners. On installation, the light needs to sit upright on the aft-facing surface so the stern sector remains clear and the light shows correctly at night.

Use on board

This light suits owners replacing a round flush stern light on a small cruiser, runabout, center console, or sailboat that uses a 12V navigation-light circuit. It also fits boats where a stainless trim ring makes sense on an exposed transom or aft bulkhead.

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.
