Are Attwood LED 1-Mile Deck Mount Side Lights approved for sailboats as well as power boats. Ads elsewhere mention specifically only power boats.

I do not know why they would not be approved for sail boats. All you need is a battery to run them. I am very happy with mine, they are on a 24' pontoon boat. If you want one single light for the bow that has both red and green they sale that as well.

I can't imagine there are any difference in the regs between power and sail. I say go for it. They're bright and hardly consume any energy.

What is there now? West Marine has the navigation rules where it shows a bi color light for the bow with a mast light or a tri color light on the mast where you will need likely at least a 2nm+ for your sailboat. http://www.westmarine.com/WestAdvisor/Navigation-Light-Rules. Hopefully the weblink will work since it is only for the navigation rules.

The seller does not indicate DOT approval. The LED cover is a flat glass plate and the optics involve no reflectors to control light paths, so I doubt that DOT approval would be likely. However, I have installed two as auxiliary driving lights, rigidly mounted on my heavy touring bike (97 Royal Star) and they work very well. I have carefully aimed them so that the central beam is fully to the left of the center line on the road and I aimed the left beam lower than the right to minimize glare for oncoming drivers. They have been very effective in lighting up the roadway and perimeter when I'm on unlighted secondary and tertiary roads out in the country. I've gotten no "high-beam flips" from anyone.

Although I have not used it in the boat, it is a pretty little powerful light. I was so happy with this light,I ordered another one for my son for Christmas. It has a long battery life and it's lightweight. Provides plenty of light for my purposes. Good luck!

I have the Oceanic biocube 14 and upgraded recently using this exact Current USA LED kit. The mounts on my hood were different but was able to still creatively install using the same screws used for the original lighting. I even purchased the Current USA Ramp Pro to control the lighting schedule. Both were purchased from Amazon site.

Going to be a bit tough as I remember, there were studs as per standard boat trailer lights. I can't remember if the studs/bolts were removable (and my trailer is in storage for the winter). The only way I can think of to make your them work for you would be to create a slightly bigger spacer and bolt the lights to the spacer and screw the spacer to your Hi-Lo

It came with a corded led status wizard you can mount anywhere. Check the manual at PD.

The lights are bright. I use two as deck lights on my sailboat. Obviously, they are underwater rated, so they are weatherproof on the ocean. Only issue is the very lightweight swivel mount. But, it hasn't caused a problem.

I put one on wake plate of my Mastercraft prostar 190 and am satisfied. I see two on the transom of newer wake boats. 8 ft beam... From the factory. Hope this helps.

These lights mount right to the side wall. The pole mount is just an option. I mounted mine directly to my pole barn siding. We really like this light!! It does a great job without fail. We live in Michigan where it has to work in the freezer and,,,,IT DOES!!!

electronically yes it is compatible with any other boat, just two wires for the lighting system but the chances of the hole pattern for the three screws to line up is slim, i had to drill new holes on the bow of my boat to mount this but it is slightly larger than the previous smaller one so no open holes were left exposed.

I love the light , I bought 3 of the 40's for my boat. Super super bright . Allen bolts also

Only if the deck is 100% water proof. These lights can not come in contact with water.

They could be if you desired to do so. I have them mounted on my boat and they are great...especially for the price!

They seem to be all around. I used them for courtesy lamp replacement in my boat. They are so bright that I had to replace them with the original incandescent lights. Whether or not that is a plus, or a minus has to do with application, and preference.

Yes. We are very pleased with them. Very bright LED light. We use the cart for traveling around at our lake lot, and the light it gives off is perfect for that. Easy installation also! I think you will be pleased with them! Karen

Yes. The correct description from Sea-Dog is LED Stainless Side Mount Docking Lights. They come as a pair and measure 3-9/16" x 2-5/8" x 3/4". We will let Amazon know about the description. -ShipStore Customer Service

I have not ever needed to replace a LED on my HP7, however it is only a few months old. I have had other Coast lights that I use for my work on board a marine vessel for the past few years and they have all been great.
