FEATURES

The Attwood Stainless Steel sidelights provide 2-mile visibility with advanced optics for greater visibility and safety. The housing is corrosion-proof with an aerodynamic design for an attractive appearance on the deck of your boat. The base gasket forms a seal between the lens and deck for an easy, waterproof installation. Side reflectors provide added protection even when the light is not on. These lights exceed all requirements of ABYC A-16-97 and COLREG 72 for boats up to 20 meters/65.6 feet (BiColor Bow Light 3810) and up to 50 meters/164 feet (Sidelight Pair 3820).
