Can anyone tell me what make /model anchor light?

Postby mparks813 » April 3rd, 2024, 11:35 am

I have a '92 Carver 33 Aft Cabin. When taking the bimini off to get it replaced I trashed the anchor mast light. Can anyone tell me what make or model it may be. The round base is about 2.5"[image]

Pretty sure it's a Perko but probably discontinued. The base you have is a standard mount used in the marine industry meant to take a threaded tube. In other words the base is separate from the light.

You could possibly jury rig something to get the original to fit however this is how the newer models look. Get a fold down version so you can fold it down when you shrink. https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/p ... tail/11149


There are several aftermarket unit out there that will be much cheaper and most likely a better choice.

You are looking for a combo masthead/anchor light FYI. ;-)

I agree with Hans posting.

I would also add... if there's anything on a boat that should be upgraded to an LED, the anchor light would be first on the list!! Think of it as "doing yourself a favor" by breaking the old one so you "have" to replace it with an LED fixture! :-D

That's a glass half-full outlook. I like that!
I'll get a replacement tube that will fold.

Thanks

Yep, nice find that would most likely be the same however do keep in mind that is 20w (2x 10w) of festoon style incandescent bulbs and not LED. That works out to 1.7 AMPS @ 12vdc which is close to your fridge consumption assuming a 50% duty cycle!! Definitely want LED if you do any anchoring. ;-)
