The pole on my anchor light on my Fountain was like 3.5' tall. Plenty tall to be seen from the front when at anchor.

Congrats on the sale... Where did you find a dual function pole light that tall?

anchor light
The plug your talking about with the 3 pins is for your bow light that is why it has two hots one for port and starboard.

Since this got brought up, can I get a run down on which lights should be illuminated for nav and which for anchor? I've been chasing some electrical stuff and have confused myself.
My nav switch only illuminates the red/green.
Anchor switch illuminates red/green, both sides of the pole, and the stern light.
Seems like I'm missing something.

Red and green nav lights show an arc a bit more than 90 degrees each (maybe 200 plus total?) and the white stern light will fill in the gap (bit less than 160) so you're visible all round.
Anchor light is 360 degrees, should be on a high point of the boat like top of the screen, extended pole or targa top for visibility. No other lights while anchored. Pretty much international standard I think on pleasure craft.
