TRIDENT-2600Q Ocean Buoy
The TRIDENT-2600Q is one of the largest rotationally moulded buoys available, with a oat
diameter of 2.6 meters and lantern focal height of up to 4 meters.
The oat section of the TRIDENT-2600Q is built from four (4) roto-moulded quadrants, which
fasten together to form an incredibly robust 2.6 meter wide oat section standing 1.5m tall. Each
quadrant is moulded from UV-stabilised virgin polyethylene, and has an 16mm wall thickness.
Number of Lifting Points = 4 SWL for 2 or more lifting points = 11,000kg (mooring point)
Visual area = 6.0m2 (with daymark) SWL for 1 point lifting = 5500kg (deck and primary structure)
Estimated roll period (bare) = 2.2sec Estimated roll period (moored) = 1.6sec

Check Components
Unpack all components from container. Inspect all components for any damage. Please alert Sealite if
any component is missing or damaged.
Assembly
Step 1
Position the Mooring Post upside down on at level ground.
Step 2
Turn the 4 x Float Sections upside down, to match the
mooring post.
Position the 4 x Float Sections around the Mooring Post and
start securing 2 x oat sections together using M18 Bolts,
nuts and washers.
Please coat each bolt in Anti-Seize or Grease before tting
Nuts.
Step 3
Place a at washer on the bolt before sliding it through the
hole in the Float Section, then t a second at washer and a
Spring washer on to the bolt before securing with a nut.
Hand tighten 2 – 4 bolts per side until all four Float sections
are secured around the mooring post.
Secure 8 x bolts down each joint on the Float Sections.
Leave the Mooring post and Float to settle for 4 hours or
overnight before tightening each bolt a second time. Giving
the buoy time to relax in the tted position will create a better
joint.

Step 4
Use a crane to turn the Float and Mooring Post upright.
Please Note: The buoy weighs over 2.3 tonnes. Please be
careful when rotating the Buoy.
The buoy is still unstable even when tted with
the supporting timber and assembly sta󰀨 must be
careful if standing on the Float Sections.
Step 5
Open the door at the base of the Tower Assembly. Position
and secure the 55Ah battery in the base of the Tower
Assembly using the 2 x Hand Wheels and Battery Clamp.
Please Note: Push the door inwards and hold while releasing the latch, then open the door.
Step 6
Connect the negative (-) and positive (+) leads to the battery terminals.
Please Note: Cover the terminals with a protective grease after connection and testing is nalised.
Step 7
Test the Light by covering it with a dark cloth or jacket and wait 1 minute for activation.
Please refer to the SL125 Manual for more information on setting ash codes, intensity and troubleshooting.
Step 8
Position and secure the top mark to the Tower Assembly, using 4 x M8 Socket Head Cap Screws, Flat and
Spring Washers and Nuts.
Step 9
Lift and secure the Tower Assembly onto the Mooring Post.
The Tower Assembly MUST be positioned with the
ladder and Hatch located on a corner of the Mooring
Post between the Lifting Eyes.
Secure the Tower to the Mooring Post in 8 x places
using M10 x 90mm Long Bolts, Flat and Spring
Washers and Nuts.
USE THE Bolt Holts either side of the Lifting Eyes
when securing the Tower Assembly.
• DO NOT USE THE GUARD RAIL AS A
LIFTING POINT
• DO NOT USE THE TOP MARK AS A LIFTING
POINT.
• DO NOT USE THE LADDER AS A LIFTING POINT
• DO NOT USE SOLAR PANELS AS A LIFTING
POINT.
• ONLY USE A SLING AROUND THE BODY OF THE
TOWER TO MOVE INTO POSITION
Secure Tower
Assembly
using 2 x Bolt
Holes either
side of Lifting
Eye.
Ladder to be positioned as shown.

Step 10
Slide the Day Marks into position. The top of the Day Mark post ts over the Locating Post on the Day
Mark Mounting Bracket, tted below the corners of the Solar Panels. Secure the base of the Day Mark
Post to the base of the Tower Assembly using the M10 Bolts, Nuts, Flat and Spring Washers per post.
Please Note: The Locating Post on the Day Mark Mounting Bracket may have to be loosened when
tting Day Marks. Please ensure the Location Posts are secured afterward.
Step 11
Fit the ladder to the Tower Assembly.
Secure the Ladder Mounting Plate to the base of the ladder using two M10 x 25mm Long Bolts, Nuts,
Flat and Spring Washers.
Secure the Ladder Mounting Plate to the Mooring Post using 2 x M10 x 45mm Bolts, Nuts, Flat and
Spring Washers.
Step 12
Finish securing the Tower Assembly to the Mooring Post.
Check that all M10 x 90mm Long Bolts Nuts, Flat and Spring Washers are secured correctly.
Step 13
Lift the Buoy, ONLY using the Lifting Eyes on the Mooring Post.
Please do not leave the Buoy lying on the Float Sections,
they may deform while in this position if left of more than 1 hour.

Marine Buoy Maintenance
Sealite Marine Buoys are designed to require very little maintenance. We recommend the buoy
be inspected annually. Inspection may need to increase depending on the local conditions and the
position of the buoy.
IALA Recommendation AISM E-107 suggests moorings are inspected annually.
Marine Buoy – Annual Maintenance
• Visually inspect buoy for damage
• Inspect the top mark for any damage. Repair any broken or damaged section.
• Clean buoy of animal debris
Mooring – Annual Maintenance
• Check and clear the tail and ride chains from shells and algae.
• Check for wear on any swivel and shackle axis and check the tapered pins on the mooring pin.
Any worn swivels and shackles must be replaced.
• Check the free movement of each swivel around its head. If any swivel head sticks it must be
replaced.
• Check every link of the thrash length of the chain. Check the diameter of the nips and sides and
also inspect the welds on every link.
• If depth allows, a worn riding chain may be reversed.
• Change a chain when any link shows excessive wear. Chain must be replaced if any link wears to
less than 3/5 of the original diameter.
Mooring – Biannual Maintenance
• Inspect the ground chain and sinker.
Lanterns – Maintenance
• Please refer to the Installation Manual for the specic Marine Lantern tted to the Buoy.
