FIGURE 1
The above lights are designed for use on sail or power driven vessels under 20 meters (65.6 ft.) in length, operating at a nominal 12 volt
or 24 volt system. In order to comply with the ‘72 COLREGS and the U.S. Inland Rules, the following must be adhered to:
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*. These lights are usually supplied complete with 12 volt bulbs (Cat. No. 0071DP0CLR, 12V,
10W), however, 24 volt bulbs (Cat. No. 0072DP1CLR, 24V, 10W) are available for 24 volt systems.
2). These lights are designed to be mounted on an angled surface of 45 degrees from the vertical. Adhere to instruction
#9 below during selection of mounting surface.
3). Draw a 6 inch long reference line through the center of the selected mounting location and parallel to a vertical plane
through fore-aft centerline of the boat. (A 6 inch optional horizontal reference line through the center of the selected
mounting location and perpendicular to the fore-aft centerline of the boat can be drawn for Cat. Nos. 1123 series
only.)
4). Cut out the proper mounting template below. Tape it onto the mounting surface such that the reference line (drawn
above) is directly underneath the corresponding reference line marked on the template.
5). Drill indicated holes through the template to accommodate #8 mounting screws (pan head for plastic bases & oval
head for metal bases) and electrical supply as required.
6). Attach supply connections to the light, making sure to wire in accordance with both A.B.Y.C. Standard E-9*
and U.S. Coast Guard Safety Standards for Boat Electrical Systems (33 CFR 183)*.
The supply leads are coded as follows:
WHITE:
Forward compartment (masthead light) positive supply lead.
RED or GRAY: Aft compartment (when energized with the forward compartment: all-round light) positive supply lead.
BLACK:
Negative supply lead. (CAUTION: Negative lead connected to case. To avoid energizing case,
observe polarity).
Electrical connections are to be made such that only the forward compartment (masthead light) is energized with the
other running lights (sidelights, stern light, etc.) while underway. Both compartments are energized simultaneously by
themselves to create the all-round (anchor) light. Be sure to use double-pole switches, otherwise feedback will cause
all lights in the system to be energized at the wrong time. See Wiring Diagram (Figure 1).
7). Mount the base in accordance with the template. A plastic mounting insulator (supplied) and stainless steel
fasteners may be used between the base and mounting surface to reduce the possibility of electrolysis on
dissimilar metals.
8). Insert the pole into the base and engage the electrical connector. Tighten the black collar. Test the lighting system to
ensure desired operation. When light is not in use, remove it from base and use black cover stored on bottom of the
base to cover the connections.
9). Make sure the top of the light is vertical during operation (see illustration) and the arrow on the
top cover points ahead (not astern), with the reference marks parallel to the fore-aft centerline of the boat.
