Perko 12" Bi-Color Pole Navigation Light — USCG Certified, Plug-In
A USCG-certified bi-color bow navigation light built for power-driven vessels up to 12 meters (39.4 ft). The 12" anodized aluminum pole positions the combined red/green bi-color lens at the correct height for compliance, with 1-mile visibility to meet federal navigation light requirements for nighttime and restricted-visibility operation.
The plug-in design is the standout feature for fishing boats: the entire light unplugs from its 2-pin base and stows away when not needed, leaving only a low-profile flat-topped base on the deck — no snag points, no obstruction for casting. The black plastic top and anodized aluminum tube give it a clean, understated look that works on most boat styles.

Parts Desk Insights
This light is purpose-built for fishing boats with open bow casting decks, where a fixed pole light would interfere with casting. The plug-in/stow capability is the key reason to choose this over a fixed mount — when you're on the water during the day, the light comes off and the base sits flush. For the required 2-pin mounting base, the Perko Plug-In Navigation Light Base (1045P0SDP) is the compatible option. If you prefer a fixed bi-color bow light without the pole, the Perko 12V Bi-Color Bow Light (Chrome/Black) or the Perko Stealth II LED Bi-Color Bow Light are solid alternatives with a lower profile and LED efficiency.
