Tools required for installation:
65mm(2.5”) hole saw
Drill
Marine sealant 3M 4200 or equivalent
Installation:
For optimum affect effect the light should be positioned between 8-12” (200-300mm) below the
water line and at a 90 deg angle.
Recommended spacing from 3-3”(1mtr) to 5-11” (1.8mtrs) between the lights.
Drill a 65mm (2.5”) hole for the light access through the hull, ensuring that there are no obstructions
internally in the hull.
Key the area to where the light is to be mounted with abrasive sand paper to ensure there is a clean
area for the marine sealant to bond too.
Apply marine sealant to the rear of the light on the circumference of the light and around the base of
the tube to ensure a complete continuous bead of sealant is applied in both areas. (See fig 2)
Feed the light through the hole and clamp internally in the hull using the clamping ring and washer
supplied ensuring a tight fit using the nuts and bolts supplied. (See fig 3 and 4)
Wipe off any excess sealant and ensure the light is seated correctly without any gaps in the sealant.
(It is good practice to have excess marine sealant to clean off as this can ensure that there is a water
tight seal to the hull)
