Attwood PowerBase Light motorized base for navigation light - white

The Attwood PowerBase Light is a foldable automated base designed specifically for the deployment and stowage of marine navigation lights. It allows control of the light's movement directly from the boat's helm, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

The PowerBase Light is an automated system operating on a 12V DC power supply. It deploys and stows the navigation light using a motorized mechanism, offering a 180° range of motion to fold the light toward the stern or bow of the boat.

The PowerBase Light is built with a high-impact polymer housing stabilized against UV rays and marine-grade stainless steel components. This combination ensures corrosion-resistant construction and enhanced durability in marine environments.

The Attwood PowerBase Light operates on a 12V DC electrical system.

The base provides a 180° range of motion, allowing the attached navigation light to swing toward the stern or bow of the boat as needed.

Yes, thanks to its high-impact UV-stabilized polymer housing and marine-grade stainless steel components, the PowerBase Light is designed to be highly corrosion-resistant.

The PowerBase Light integrates two main safety features:

SafeGuard Breakaway: In the event of an impact, the unit detaches to prevent costly damage to the mast or boat structure. SmartDeploy Backdrive: This function detects obstructions during deployment and automatically reverses the movement to avoid jamming.

The SafeGuard Breakaway function allows the unit to detach in case of a collision or impact. This protects the navigation light and the boat's structure from potentially costly damage.

The SmartDeploy Backdrive function is an intelligent feature that detects obstructions when the PowerBase Light attempts to deploy the light. If an obstruction is detected, the system automatically reverses its movement to prevent damage to the light or the obstacle.

The PowerBase Light is specifically compatible with Attwood LightArmor LED All-Round navigation lights (series 5590) and LED masthead lights (series 7800).

Yes, the PowerBase Light is compatible with Attwood LightArmor LED all-round navigation lights and LED masthead lights of various lengths, including 24, 30, 36, and 42 inches.

No, the 6100-LT-1 (PowerBase Light) model is designed for navigation lights. The model compatible with VHF antennas is the PowerBase Antenna (6100-AT-1).

The product description and technical specifications indicate specific compatibility with Attwood LightArmor LED All-Round navigation lights (series 5590) and LED masthead lights (series 7800). Compatibility with lights from other brands is not guaranteed.

The PowerBase Light uses standardised surface-mount patterns, typically a 3-hole model, to simplify installation on the boat.

Yes, the PowerBase Light uses standardised surface-mount patterns, typically a 3-hole model, which makes installation or replacement straightforward.

Movement control of the light from the helm is via a 12V DC electrical system. This requires wiring the PowerBase Light to a switch or control panel at the helm, enabling deployment or retraction of the light.

No, the Attwood PowerBase Light is sold separately and is a motorized base for navigation lights. Compatible navigation lights (series 5590 and 7800) must be purchased separately.

Once correctly installed and wired to a 12V DC power source and a control switch, the PowerBase Light is ready for use with a compatible navigation light.

The PowerBase Light is designed for surface mounting using a 3-hole template. Ensure the mounting surface is sufficiently robust and flat to support the unit and the navigation light, and that it allows for proper wiring.

The main advantage is convenience and safety. It allows users to deploy and stow their navigation lights remotely from the helm, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and reducing the risk of damage thanks to its intelligent safety features such as SafeGuard Breakaway and SmartDeploy Backdrive.
