3.1 PREPARING THE HULL
OceanLED recommends using a qualified installer / technician when making modifications to your vessel.
Please also consult the manufacturer for more detail on modifications and installation.
Sport lights, such as the OceanLED Sport series, are specifically designed and suitable for surface mounting
on boats with GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and wooden hulls. Also available to use on carbon and metal
hulled boats with the inclusion of the Isolating Kit.
Ensure mounting location is flat and check internally for ease of access or if there is a rib, strut, stringer
or other hull irregularity that may interfere with the installation.
General steps for preparing a fiberglass or wooden hull
TIP:
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask
.
1.
Drill a 3mm / 1/8” pilot hole square to mounting surface from inside the hull if possible. If there is a rib, strut, or other
obstacle in the hull near the selected mounting location, this will need to be taken into account in the planning
phase and the location adjusted accordingly, or the obstruction safely removed or modified. If the pilot hole is found
to be drilled in the wrong location, drill a second hole in a better location and repair first pilot hole.
2. Using a suitable drill, make a 1/2" (12.5mm) hole. Ensure the light will fit flush and will be square to the mounting
surface.
3. Sand the area around the hole using a heavy grit sandpaper to remove the previous bottom paint and to ensure
that the sealant will adhere properly to the hull. Clean and degrease the sanded area with a suitable solvent.
4. Place light fixture into position or use mounting template provided ensuring light fixture is correctly orientated with
logo in an upright position to maximise beam spread effect. . Mark the screw hole position and pilot drill using
correct sized drill bit for included screws.
5. Always dry fit units before applying any sealant.
