MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Determine the location for the light on your vehicle or
boat. The small arrow on the base indicates the
normal forward direction of the light. The light will
rotate to the left of this arrow approximately 185 and
to the right approximately 185. The beam will angle
down about 45 and angles up to 90. The location
should take into consideration this beam movement
to ensure optimum usability.
Once the position and orientation are decided
upon—use the black rubber gasket as a footprint to
mark the mounting of base to vehicle. Drill 1/4 inch
hole though mounting surface in the middle of the
footprint for passage of the power cord. Use silicone
sealant to fill opening around power cord.
IMPORTANT: Allow 3” of cord to remain under the
light to ensure full 370 rotation.
You should choose screw or bolt fasteners
appropriate to the surface to which you intend to
attach the light. If you intend to use the four small
plastic caps provided to cover the screw heads once
installed, a #8 round head is recommended.
The black gasket should be installed on the lamp
base prior to attachment to the vehicle surface.
NOTE: The small drain hole in the edge of the
gasket should normally face opposite the forward
direction of the vehicle—opposite the arrow molded
in the front of the base. Silicone or other like
sealants should not be used around the base gasket
as it will limit the light’s ability to drain excess water
properly.
The 12 Volt DC power wire should be joined to the
leads under the lamp with appropriate automotive
wire attachments. It is critical that polarity be
observed. Connect vehicle positive (+) to spotlight
positive (+) wire. Connect vehicle ground (-) to
spotlight ground (-) wire. Power should be fused at
10 Amps and be on a dedicated circuit, or wired to an
appropriate automotive relay system.
PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

remote with 2187 different channels. This feature
allows you the freedom to change the channel
selection, and the receiver relearns the new selection.
PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER.

Mounting information
Do not attempt operation until you are familiar with all warnings, precautions, and procedures outlined within this
instruction sheet. Read carefully before operating. Retain these instructions for future reference.
USER SHOULD BE TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS DEVICE.
WE RECOMMEND A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
INSTALLATION
1. For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to A.B.Y.C. Standard A-16*, the '72 COLREGS*,
and the U.S. Inland Rules*.
2. These bases are designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface.
3. For Bi-Color lights, draw a 6" long reference line through the center of the selected mounting location and parallel
to the centerline of the boat.
4. Cut out the mounting template. Place it on the mounting surface such that the reference line (drawn above) is
directly underneath the reference line marked on the template.
5. Drill indicated holes through the template to accommodate #8 oval head mounting screws and socket as required.
6. Attach supply connections to the light, making sure to wire in accordance with both A.B.Y.C. Standard E-9* and
the U.S. Coast Guard Safety Standards for Boat Electrical Systems (33 CFR 183)*.
For 2-contact bases, the supply leads are coded as follows:
WHITE: Positive supply lead
BLACK: Negative supply lead (Caution: Negative lead connected to case. To avoid energizing case, observe
polarity.)
Electrical connections must be made such that the forward compartment is switched in conjunction with the
other running light(s); aft compartment should be switched with Ignition (or permanently energized), as a
push switch is provided on top of the light. NOTE: All light circuits must be circuit protected. Use a 1/2 Amp
fuse (or breaker) for the courtesy light circuit and a 2 Amp fuse (or breaker) for the combination light circuit.
7. Setup for Operation: As pole engages with base, make sure alignment screw in pole slides into the notch in the
base. Push pole until it engages the electrical connector and lock by rotating the locking collar clockwise.
