This is a Perko replacement navigation light, part 1445DP7CHR, in a black top style with a clear fluted lens. It is a plug-in type with a 2-pin connection and gold plated contacts. It is rated for 2 miles of visibility and certified for power-driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft). The rake is 5 degrees, so check that against your existing fixture when replacing one.
Our take
The 2-pin plug-in connection with gold plated contacts makes this a swap-in replacement rather than a rewire job, as long as your fixture takes the same base. Its certification covers power-driven vessels under 20 meters, so a sailboat should look elsewhere.
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.
