• Cordless drill; 1/8" (3mm) bit and 3/8" (9mm) bit
• 16-gauge wire and waterproof crimp connectors
• Fuse holder (Attwood #14341) and 1-amp fuse
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Transom Lights must be mounted:
• On the transom, exterior cabin bulkhead or superstructure. (Figure 1)
• As far aft as possible.
• On a vertical surface where the light will be unobstructed.
• So that light shines directly astern and horizontally when the boat is fl oating.
INSTALLATION
1. To access light housing mounting holes, remove the bezel.
2. Place fl at side of housing against a smooth vertical surface (see INSTALLATION
LOCATION for proper position). (Figure 2)
Important: Before drilling, be sure that light will shine straight astern and within 5°
of horizontal when boat is fl oating.
3. Use housing as a template to mark location of two mounting holes and a center
hole for wire access.
CAUTION: Position wire access hole carefully, especially on aluminum boats,
so that wires do not contact the hull.
4. Drill 3/8" (9mm) diameter hole for wire clearance and 1/8" (3mm) diameter holes
for mounting screws (Figure 2). Vertical or horizontal screw mounting pattern
may be used.
5. Bring one 16-gauge (+) and one (-) wire up through access hole DO NOT connect
these wires to power until you read FINAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS. (Figure 3)
6. Connect wires using waterproof crimp connectors.
7. Caulk mounting holes and wire access holes.
8. Fasten assembly with two #8 stainless steel panhead screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
FINAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect to 12-Volt DC power source ONLY. All positive wires must be protected by
a 1-amp fuse. Higher voltage or failure to make proper wire and fuse connections
will void the product warranty. Use crimp type marine-grade connectors with
suitable insulation.
1. Neatly thread wires to the switch, avoiding areas where abrasion or snagging
may occur.
2. Use switch (Attwood #14386 or equivalent) that allows two-position ON/OFF/ON
operation – one for running lights, and one for anchor lights. Attach wires with
crimp-on butt joint connectors. Test lights for proper operation.
