Attwood Marine LightArmor Fold-Down Anchor/Masthead LED Light, 12 in, 12V, 3NM, Horizontal Mount

Overview

The Attwood Marine 7812-S-7 is a 12V fold-down anchor and masthead navigation light with a 12-inch anodized aluminum pole and a horizontal locking base. It is sized for power-driven boats up to 65.6 feet (20 m) and uses separate anchor and masthead circuits so it can be wired through a 3-position OFF/ON/ON switch for the correct running or all-round mode.

This style of light makes sense where a fixed pole gets in the way of a boat cover, trailering, or low overhead clearance at the dock. The base adjusts and locks through a 180° arc, so the light can be raised for use and folded down when the boat is stored. LED service life is rated at more than 50,000 hours, and the light carries a 10-year warranty.

Key features

• 12V LED anchor and masthead light with a 12-inch anodized aluminum pole
• Horizontal fold-down base adjusts and locks through a 180° arc for stowage and deployment
• Suitable for power-driven boats up to 65.6 ft (20 m)
• Separate anchor and masthead circuits for wiring to a 3-position OFF/ON/ON switch
• Folding base cast from enhanced 316 stainless steel alloy with stainless hardware at exposed mounting points
• LED life rated for more than 50,000 hours with a 10-year warranty

Installation and setup

This light mounts on a horizontal surface and should be aligned toward the bow on the vessel centerline so the light sectors stay correct underway and at anchor. The mounting layout uses two #10 countersunk stainless screws and a 3/8 inch wire access hole, which keeps the wiring route neat through the base instead of leaving it exposed on deck.

For a standard 12V installation, the positive feed should be protected with a 1-amp fuse and wired with 16-gauge conductors using waterproof marine crimp connectors. The separate leads for anchor and masthead functions make it straightforward to tie this light into a normal navigation-light switch panel on a small powerboat.

Compatibility and fit

It fits well on center consoles, bay boats, skiffs, and small cruisers where a short fold-down light is easier to live with than a fixed pole. The 12-inch height keeps the assembly compact, while the locking base lets you lower it when the boat is under a cover, on a trailer, or tied up beneath low overhead clearance.

The anodized aluminum pole and stainless folding base are a sensible match for boats that stay outside or see regular saltwater spray. If you are replacing an older incandescent fold-down light, this unit is a better fit for owners who want lower current draw, longer service life, and a cleaner deck installation without moving to a taller pole setup.

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.
