This Perko replacement navigation light is a stowaway style with a 2-pin plug-in base. It has a clear fluted lens, gold plated contacts and a black top. It gives 2-mile visibility. Its certification covers power driven vessels shorter than 20 meters (65.6 feet), so the light is aimed at powerboats within that size and nothing in the certification mentions a sailing vessel or a longer boat.
Our take
The certification for power driven vessels under 20 meters defines where this Perko light belongs. Inside that length on a powerboat it gives 2-mile visibility, and nothing in its stated rating covers a sailing vessel.
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.
