The Perko 1310 is a bi-color navigation light for vessels up to 39 ft (12 m). It has a chrome plated zinc alloy top on a black polymer base, and it comes with a 12 volt bulb. It is USCG certified and gives 1 nautical mile visibility. The maker notes the zinc alloy is not recommended for saltwater use, so check the top material before fitting it to a boat that lives in salt water.
Our take
The chrome plated zinc alloy top is flagged as not recommended for saltwater use, so on a boat kept in salt water that material is the first thing to weigh against the 1 nautical mile rating and the 39 ft vessel limit.
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.
