And, when anchored, how does an oncoming boat see that light when it's so short? The anchor light socket is low on the starboard, port gunwale. It is supposed to be visible from 360°.

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.

Was it a 2-pin or 3-pin pole light?
Sorry, still a little excited about the sale.:drink: |

I am guessing 3 pin since it was both nav and anchor light, plus I had an anchor light on the stern above the swim deck. It was a 1990 29' that is SOLD!!!!:drink: :drink:

Congrats on the sale...:D :evilb: Where did you find a dual function pole light that tall?
You might check with Fountain, 800-853-9099 or 252-975-2000 are the two numbers I have for them. Good luck in your search. |

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. |
Nav-red, green and rear facing (270 degree?)white light on
Anchored-360 degree white light only |

Anchored-360 degree white light only 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. RR |
