Installation and Operating Instructions
Please Read All Instructions Before Proceeding
*General Information:
This light has been shipped with a 12V, 20° LED installed.
1. Select Mounting Location
a. This unit can be installed above or below the waterline.
b. The mounting surface must be flat to insure a watertight seal.
c. When choosing a mounting location, make sure there is
sufficient room in the bilge to take the back plate off and remove the
interior of the light in case the LED has to be serviced (at least 6”).
2. Installation
a. Remove boat from water.
b. Select mounting location and drill a 2-3/8” diameter hole.
c. Epoxy the inside surface of the drilled hole to insure that water will not
be absorbed into the hull in case of water intrusion.
d. After the epoxy cures, insert the neck of the light through the hull. Put
a generous amount of bedding sealant under the outer flange to insure
a watertight seal.
e. Put a generous amount of sealant on the back of the nut and tighten.
f. A bonding screw is attached to the back plate in order for the light to
be attached to the vessel’s grounding system.
g. Attach power cable to fused power source. The LED unit draws less
than 1/2 amp at 12 volts.
3. Replacing the Lens
a. The vessel must be out of the water to perform this function.
b. Remove the light from the hull.
c. Remove the six screws that hold the head to the body and separate
the two pieces.
d. The lens will pop out. Use a PERKO replacement lens
(Cat. No. 0174DP1LNS) Any other lens may not withstand the
thermal conditions.
e. Reassemble as described in Installation Instructions (Sections 2d, 2e,
2f and 2g).
