Every Boat Deserves Proper Running Lights

If you were to check the running lights on every boat in your marina, we bet you would find that many have defective lights. The stern light is often the problem as lines and people snag or grab them. They’re often stowed to save space and eliminate visual obstruction.  Rather than removing them, where they can be lost or damaged, Perko’s Fold Down White All-Round Lights simply fold out of the way.

The lights are certified for use on sail or power vessels under 65.6′.  Perko’s designs include options with either a white translucent globe, or reduced-glare versions with a frosted globe or a black plastic top and clear fluted lens.

An array of mounting bases give these convenient folding lights many installation options.  Various models fit horizontally or vertically on round or square rails.  They can be surface mounted on windshields, T-tops, arches and hard tops.  Base materials include a choice of black plastic, or chrome-plated zinc alloy with a quick release lever.  Footprint dimensions range from 2″ x 1-1/2″ to 2-1/4″ x 5/8″.  Plastic adapters are also available for flat or V-type mounts, with a notch for through-base wiring.

This can be an easy sale at your marina or repair yard.  LED options are also available.  Perko’s Fold Down White All-Round Lights start at less than $40. Visit: www.perko.com.
