Attwood Navigation Light Bases: 2-Pin vs 3-Pin & Pole Guide

Replacing an Attwood navigation-light pole or base requires checking socket pin count, mounting shape and the specific pole-light family. Similar-looking bases can serve different all-round and bi-colour systems. Compare the exact products below before changing a wired boat installation.

Two-pin and three-pin pole-light sockets are different systems

Two-pin light base Used on specified legacy all-round and bi-colour systems. Check keyed angle, locking collar and original pole part number.
Three-pin bi-colour base The LightArmor 910R3/910V3 parts listed here support NV6LC2 and 5095 pole-light families.

These are only pin-count symbols, not actual contact positions or wiring instructions.

Do not substitute by pin count alone. Attwood 5340-54-7 is a two-pin folding all-round light with a locking collar; the manufacturer lists 910R2/910V2/910T2 compatible bases. Its use with older 911339 bases requires collar removal. Three-pin LightArmor bi-colour bases are separate.

Five checks before choosing a pole base or light

  1. Find the original base's Attwood model number, if readable, and count the electrical contacts.
  2. Check the base shape: round, rectangular, 12-degree angled deck fitting or vertical mount.
  3. Match the complete pole-light series and its locking collar, not just the pin count.
  4. Separate removable all-round pole lights from fixed red/green sidelights and portable battery-powered kits.
  5. Confirm the intended vessel application and applicable navigation-light regulations before installation.
