The Attwood 7202-P-7 is a 360 degree light on a 20 inch aluminum pole with a black composite base, used as an anchor or masthead light. It is USCG certified for fresh and salt water boats up to 65.6 ft (20 m), with 3 mile illumination. The lens is a sealed one-piece unit and the wiring is concealed and protected at the base. It takes two festoon-style 8-watt lamps. The pole is built to collapse rather than break if struck, and a rail mount adapter (#91367) comes in the pack.

Our take

The pole that collapses instead of snapping matters on a light mounted at head height or near a rail, where a stray boom, line or shoulder is likely to catch it. The 3 mile, 360 degree rating covers boats up to 65.6 ft.

From our buying guide

The lights a boat must show depend on its length and how it's being driven. A sailboat under power is a power-driven vessel and shows power-driven lights.

Check before you buy:

  • The label gives its visibility in nautical miles, and that range meets the minimum for your boat's length.
  • The maker rates it for boats of your length.
  • A replacement LED is certified with the fixture it's going into, since the Coast Guard warns that replacement lighting may not meet the rules.
