Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of boat and
marine electronics, systems, and procedures.
If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle
components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of
the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards
or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage holes.

The printed arrow on the case indicates the top side of the light and must be
pointing forward when installed.
The port light is red and the starboard light is green.
The sidelights must be installed as far forward as is practical.
The rear at surface of the sidelight must be installed so that it is parallel to the
fore and aft and vertical centerlines of the boat.
When installed, the horizontal centerline of the sidelight must be as parallel as
possible to the water line.
The sidelights should be installed as close to the same distance from the fore and
aft centerline of the boat as is practical.
On power-driven boats less than 12m in length, the sidelights must be installed no
less than 1 meter below the masthead light.
On power-driven boats greater than 12m but less than 20m, the sidelights must
be installed no higher than ¾ of the height that the masthead light is above the
gunwale.
When correctly installed each sidelight must have a visible arc of 112.5° that
extends from dead ahead to 22.5° abaft the beam.
Not every boat is designed with a space for the sidelights that will meet the
above criteria. If this is the case, it will be necessary to install a separate bracket
or plate in order to comply with marine lighting laws.
Choose a mounting location keeping in mind the above guidelines.
CAUTION: Make sure that there is nothing behind where you intend to drill,
such as wires, hoses, a fuel tank, or a livewell.
TIP: Never assume that existing lights are installed correctly or in the correct
location.
If possible, test t the lights to ensure correct visibility and function.
TIP: When installing on a sailboat, verify that your lines will not foul on the
lights.
Once the mounting location has been chosen and conrmed, remove the chrome
cover by loosening the two tabs at the rear top and rear bottom of the light.
Place the light body over the top of the mounting location and mark the position
of the mounting holes and wires.
Drill two small pilot holes for the screws.
Drill a hole to pass the wires through.
TIP: If drilling into the hull, only drill a hole large enough to feed the wires
through. Large holes are harder to properly seal.
Thoroughly clean the mounting surface and de-burr all holes.
If the light is to be mounted to the hull, apply a marine grade sealant to the screw
holes and wire hole.
Feed the wires through the hole.
TIP: If a hole is drilled all the way through the hull, be sure to seal both sides of
the hole. This prevents moisture from leaking into the hull from inside the boat.
Attach the light with the supplied mounting screws.
TIP: Do not overtighten the screws. This may crack the housing and compro-
mise the waterproong of the unit. It is a good idea to use a screwdriver, instead
of an electric drill, for this step.
Connect the light to the boat wiring (red is power, black is ground).
TIP: Always use a waterproof heat shrink tubing to protect any electrical
connections.
Reattach the chrome cover.
