Cat. No. 1049 Series Bases
Note: Access required from underneath for installation and service.
MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding.
1). For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to A.B.Y.C. Standard A-16*, the '72
COLREGS*, and the U.S. Inland Rules*.
2). These bases are designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface.
3). Place a mark at the center of the selected mounting location. Draw a 6” long reference line through
this mark, parallel to the centerline of the boat.
4). Cut out the mounting template. Place it on the mounting surface such that the reference mark (drawn
above) is directly underneath the center of the template.
5). Drill indicated holes through the mounting surface to accommodate socket as required. Important:
Drill 5/16” (smaller) hole first.
6). Mount the base in accordance with the template, tighten nut to secure.
7). Attach supply connections to the light, making sure to wire in accordance with both A.B.Y.C. Standard
E-9* and the U.S. Coast Guard Safety Standards for Boat Electrical Systems (33 CFR 183)*.
For 3-contact bases (Bi-Color lights), the supply leads are coded as follows:
WHITE: Forward compartment (Bi-Color) positive supply lead
GRAY: Aft compartment (Utility) positive supply lead
BLACK: Negative supply lead (Caution: Negative lead connected to case. To avoid
energizing case, observe polarity.)
Electrical connections must be made such that the forward compartment is switched in
conjunction with the other running light(s); aft compartment should be switched with Ignition
(or permanently energized), as a push switch is provided on top of the light. NOTE: All light
circuits must be circuit protected. Use a 1/2 Amp fuse (or breaker) for the courtesy light
circuit and a 2 Amp fuse (or breaker) for the combination light circuit.
