FEATURES
These Attwood Transom Lights are for use on boats up to 65.6 ft.
(20 meters). The 6356D Transom Light (Round) has a clear backing
so it shines on both sides of a bulkhead - can be used to light an
interior compartment.

requirements, and all applicable standards as tested by Imanna
Labs, 12/20/2002. 2 Nautical-Mile visibility. Lights use 7.5-watt
lamp, #9232 (13-volt).
REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
•Phillips screwdriver
•Cordless drill; 1/8" (3mm) bit and 1-7/8" (48mm) hole saw
•16-gauge wire and waterproof crimp connectors
• Fuse holder (Attwood #14341) and 1-amp fuse
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Transom Lights must be mounted:
•On the transom, exterior cabin bulkhead or superstructure. (Figure 1)
•As far aft as possible.
•On a vertical surface where the light will be unobstructed.
•So that light shines directly astern and horizontally when the boat
is floating.
INSTALLATION
1. To access light base mounting holes, remove the 2 mounting screws,
bezel, and lens. Set these aside for reinstallation. (Figure 2)
2. Place flat side of base against a smooth vertical surface
(see INSTALLATION LOCATION for proper position).
Important: Before drilling, be sure that light will shine straight astern
and within 5°of horizontal when boat is floating.
3. Use base as a template to mark location of two mounting holes
and a center hole for wire access.
CAUTION
Position wire access hole carefully, especially on aluminum boats,
so that wires do not contact the hull.
4. Drill 1-7/8" (48mm) diameter hole for base clearance and 1/8" (3mm)
diameter holes for mounting screws. (Figure 2)
5. Bring one 16-gauge (+) and one (-) wire up through access hole.
DO NOT connect these wires to power until you read FINAL
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS. (Figure 3)
6. Connect wires using waterproof crimp connectors.
7. Place gasket and base over clearance hole. Replace lens and
bezel. Fasten assembly with two supplied mounting screws.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
FINAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect to 12-Volt DC power source ONLY. All positive wires must
be protected by a 1-amp fuse. Higher voltage or failure to make
proper wire and fuse connections will void the product warranty.
Use crimp type marine-grade connectors with suitable insulation.
