Sealite Breather Unit
How it Works
Inside the breather unit, is an air channel which forms in the shape of an S-Bend which runs from the
M16 threaded hole to a small hole located on the other side.
Thischannel,llswithwaterandspillsoutthroughthesmallhole,allowingthewatertoeffectively
drain from the buoy and at the same time, preventing water from entering into the buoy through the
small hole.
Installation Instructions for Breather Units (For Products which Contain Sealite’s Power Packs)
1. Unscrew the white plug located at the side/base of the buoy
2. Apply a small amount of marine grade silicon adhesive to the thread of the breather valve
3. Carefully screw in the breather unit ensuring that the arrow’s direction is pointing down.
