Application Compatibility
This light is suitable for docks, marina walkways, boat houses, steps, posts, gates, patios, and other outdoor areas where low-maintenance solar lighting and motion activation are preferred. It mounts to posts or vertical surfaces and does not require hard wiring, making it useful for dock areas where running electrical wire is inconvenient.
Fitment Notice
This is a marine accessory, not an engine-specific part. Before ordering, confirm that the mounting surface, sunlight exposure, and installation location are suitable. For best charging performance, the solar panel should be positioned where it can receive strong direct sunlight during the day.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace the light if the housing is damaged, the solar panel no longer charges effectively, the motion sensor becomes unreliable, the LEDs fail, or the unit no longer provides dependable night-time illumination after the rechargeable battery has been checked or replaced.
Installation Notes
Mount the light on a post or vertical surface in a location with good sun exposure. Dock Edge installation guidance recommends placing the unit where it can receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, with the solar panel ideally facing south where practical. Keep the sensor area clear of obstructions so the PIR detector can properly scan the intended approach area.

Parts Desk Insight
This is a practical dock light when you want visibility only when someone approaches, rather than constant bright lighting. The key installation detail is sunlight exposure—solar lights perform best when the panel is not shaded by railings, roof overhangs, canvas, or nearby dock structures.
