Perko Locking Collar Pole Light Mounting Base, 2-Pin, Stainless Steel, 5° Rake

Overview

The Perko 1046P0SDP is a 2-pin plug-in pole light base for mounting compatible Perko all-round navigation light poles on a boat deck, gunwale, transom area, or other approved horizontal mounting location. It uses a stainless steel base with a black polymer water resistant slide cover, giving the socket protection when the light pole is removed.

This base measures 3-1/2 in. x 1-1/2 in. and has a 5 degree tube angle, which helps set the pole at the correct rake once installed. Pigtail leads are included for wiring into the vessel lighting circuit, making it a practical replacement base for boats already using a matching 2-pin Perko pole light setup.

Key features

• 2-pin plug-in type base for compatible Perko all-round pole lights.
• Stainless steel base helps the mounting surface hold up in wet cockpit, deck, and transom areas.
• Black polymer slide cover helps shield the socket when the pole light is not plugged in.
• Water resistant cover and pigtail leads support a clean deck installation with wiring routed below the mounting surface.
• 3-1/2 in. x 1-1/2 in. base footprint for checking fit against an existing cutout or mounting pattern.
• 5 degree tube angle for the correct pole rake on compatible navigation light installations.
• Fits Perko Figs. 1343, 1348, 1400, 1445, 1451, 1455, 1456, 1465, and 1470 series all-round pole lights.

Compatibility and fit

This base is meant for 2-pin Perko plug-in pole lights in the listed all-round light series. Before replacing an existing base, compare the pole connector style, pin count, mounting footprint, tube angle, and wiring access under the deck. It is not a universal socket for every removable stern or anchor light, so matching the Perko figure series is important.

Installation and setup

Mount the base where the pole light can meet the required visibility for the vessel and where the pole will not interfere with canvas, fishing gear, boarding, or engine movement. The pigtail leads should be connected to the vessel navigation or anchor light circuit using proper marine wiring practices, with connections protected from moisture and strain below the mounting surface.

Use on board

This base suits owners replacing a worn, corroded, or loose socket for a removable all-round pole light. It is especially useful on small powerboats, center consoles, walkarounds, and fishing boats where the pole light is installed only when needed and the base remains exposed to spray, washdowns, and UV between trips.

Maintenance and care

Keep the slide cover closed when the pole is removed, and rinse the area with fresh water after saltwater use. During seasonal maintenance, check that the socket is clean, the cover moves freely, the mounting screws remain tight, and the wiring below the deck is dry and secure.

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.
