OceanLED makes every eort to protect our marine and fresh water environment
as well as our natural resources. Please take care to keep packaging away from
and out of the water by ensuring loose packaging materials are secured and not
susceptible to being blown into the water. Please recycle all packaging materials
as the sustainability of our environment is everyone’s responsibility.
WARNING: Ensure mounting location is flat and check internally for ease of access or if
there is a rib, strut, stringer or other hull irregularity that may interfere with the
installation.
WARNING: Never use power tools to secure your lights; hand tighten only.
WARNING: We recommend you use screws provided. If alternative screws are used, do
not use counter sunk or non flat shoulder screws to secure your lights to the hull.
WARNING: OceanLED recommends dry fitting all products. When installing, be sure
that the light fits the area and secures to the hull using the appropriate hardware
before applying any sealant.
WARNING: Light is for thru-hull mounting only. Cable and connections exposed to
underwater submersion will not be covered by warranty!
WARNING:There are several dierent hull types. Most are either solid GRP or
cored. Be sure you follow the correct procedures for the hull you are preparing
since all require dierent preparation methods. We will cover the most common
type below. If in doubt please contact your local OceanLED representative or the
boat manufacturer for assistance.
WARNING:Please check all components prior to installation. If there is any dam-
age to connectors, cables, and/or any other component, please notify OceanLED
BEFORE installation. Failure to notify OceanLED of damage in transit prior to
installation will lead to violation of warranty.
WARNING:Light is for mounting directly to a flat surface on the hull, with the
cable passing through a 1/2” (12.5mm) hole in the hull. Do not submerse your
cable in water; cable and connections exposed to underwater submersion will not
be covered by warranty. Mounting the light in any other configuration, other than
those described in this guide, will invalidate its warranty.

1. Preparing a fiberglass hull
NOTE: For installation on Metal and Carbon Fibre hulls, please contact OceanLED
for correct guidance on fitting.
Tip: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. Drill a 3mm / 1/8” pilot hole square to mounting surface from inside the hull
if possible. If there is a rib, strut, or other hull irregularity near the selected
mounting location, this will need to be taken into account in the planning
phase and the location adjusted accordingly, or the obstruction safely
removed or modified. If the pilot hole is found to be drilled in the wrong
location, drill a second hole in a better location and repair first pilot hole.
2. Using a suitable drill, make a 1/2” (12.5mm) hole. Ensure the light will fit flush
and will be square to the mounting surface.
3. Sand the area around the hole using a heavy grit sandpaper to remove the
previous bottom paint and to ensure that the sealant will adhere properly
to the hull. If there is any petroleum residue inside the hull, remove it with
acetone before sanding.
4. Place light fixture into position or use mounting template provided, ensuring
light fixture is correctly orientatied with logo in an upright position to
maximise beam spread eect. Mark the screw hole position and pilot drill
using correct sized drill bit for included screws.
5. Always dry fit units before applying any sealant.
2. Installing the light fixture
TIP: Use a suitable marine sealant such as 3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure
4200FS. When applying sealant to light fixture, be careful to protect the lens from
any abrasive surface/floor so as not to remove the protective Tritonium coating.
TIP: If bottom painting your lights ensure lens is free of any paint / residue.
1. Once hull preparation is complete (see step 1), the light can be inserted into
the hole previously prepared. Apply generous amounts of the sealant you are
using to the back perimeter of the light body. Make sure to generously coat
the cable of the light where it meets the back of the light. There should be an
unbroken bead of sealant around the perimeter of the light unit.

TIP: It is critical to cover the entire body and circle the mounting screw hole
so that there is a continuous and unbroken bead of sealant.
Insert the light on to the hull, feeding the cable through first and seat into
place. Press the light hard into the hull and ensure good adhesion.
2. To ensure correct dispersion of light underwater, ensure all Sport Lights are
mounted with the correct orientation with text facing upwards. Tip: During/
after fitting process, ensure cable is not under any undue stress.
3. We recommend you only use the mounting screws provided. If alternative
screws are used, do not use counter sunk or non-flat shoulder screws. Cover
the threads with the sealant and screw into the pre-drilled pilot holes.
WARNING: Tighten the screws with a hand tool ONLY!
4. Once you are satisfied that the unit is fully embedded onto the hull, you will
notice that sealant has squeezed out from around the perimeter of the light.
Using a cloth wipe o excess sealant to leave a clean seal. If you do not see
sealant squeeze out from the body, you have not used enough sealant or
tightened the unit enough to the hull. Carefully examine the installation to
make sure the seal you have installed on the unit is fully water-tight. If in
doubt, remove light, re-apply sealant and re-install.

3. Connecting the light fixture
Warning: Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED light
fixtures. When connecting light units, please note that all OceanLED lights will
operate within a specific voltage range.
OceanLED Sport models require a 12/24v DC supply. This supply should be a
minimal 6A @ 12vDC or 3A @ 24v DC per light.
When connecting lights to your V DC power source it is recommended to connect
using a two pole screw type terminal block, with a minimum voltage rating of
50V and a current rating of at least 6A. (When installing multiple fixtures we
recommend using the OceanLED 4 way Power Junction Box). The ends of the
cable should be stripped back (if required) and suitable ferrules fitted. The
terminal block should be fixed inside a waterproof enclosure (IP66 minimum).
Tip: Switch and breaker need to have sucient current ratings to support light.
For complete instructions on V DC connections, please refer to ABYC codes of
practice and other applicable codes and ordinances for V DC connections.
Warning: Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the
bare wire ends in bilge water before making the waterproof connections. Water
deposits in the connectors and cables will cause corrosion. Over time water can
also work its way into the unit along the inside of the cable due to capillary action
causing the light to fail. This will NOT be covered under warranty.
1. Depending on the quantity of lights installed you will need to pull the
correct sized power cable from the breaker/fuse panel to the light locations
to supply constant power to the units. It is imperative that the correct
sized tinned marine cable is used. For recommened cable guages see full
installation manual, available online.
2. If you are not installing a custom fuse panel, it is imperative that the
OceanLED supplied fuse is installed on the power line from each light.
3. Using waterproof connections or IP66 waterproof junction boxes, make
the connections from the fused V DC power source(s) to the light(s). If
appropriate always use a dielectric grease when making the connections
and make sure any heat shrink used completely encapsulates the outer wire
sheath (the use of glue-lined heat shrink is highly recommended to ensure
water tightness).
NOTE: Corrosion of wire, and/or water ingress into the light unit via the cable
is NOT covered under warranty.
4. Secure cabling ensuring where the cable exits the light it is not under stress.

4. Finalize your OceanLED installation
Test your lights
Always test the lights BEFORE the boat goes back into the water. Failure to test
prior to launch may require boat to re hauled out. At this final stage make sure
all of the system is operational (see online manual). If you have any issues, please
contact your local OceanLED representative.
Warning: Never install a new light and leave the boat in the water unchecked for
several days.
When the boat is placed in the water, immediately check for leaks. Note that very
small leaks may not be readily observed. It is best not to leave the boat in the
water for more than 3 hours before checking it again. If there is a small leak, there
may be considerable bilge water accumulation after 24 hours. If a leak is observed
you must take action immediately to prevent damage to the property.
5. Operation
Single Colour Strobe
To enter strobe mode, toggle the power on and o quickly twice, then back on.
They should now strobe in a pseudo-random pattern. The lights can be reset from
strobe mode after 20 seconds of use. Simply turn o then back on again.
Dual Colour Operation
The Dual colour change has seven modes of operation;
1. Single colour white – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on.
2. Single colour blue
3. Fade - Fade between white and blue.
4. Random white strobe -
5. Random blue strobe -
6. Alternate blue/white strobe
7. Dual colour (blue and white both on)
To cycle between the above modes, turn o the light for less than 1 second, then
back on again.
PLEASE NOTE: Fade mode is not guaranteed to stay in sync between lights over
time.
To change default start up colour, please see full manual for configuration mode
