WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The power supply must be a 12 or 24-volt DC only. Use
crimp-type marine grade connectors with suitable waterproof
insulation. Protect all connections with suitable materials.
NOTE: Failure to make proper connections and fuse the light
properly will void the product warranty
CAUTION: Polarity is important. If wiring is mis-connected,
the LED light will not operate.
1. Connect wires to fused power source (Figure 3).
2. Connect the (-) black wire to the negative (-) wire for each
light from the 12/24-volt supply.
3. Connect the (+) white wire to the proper fuse switch. See
Fuse Recommendation for correct fuse size.
4. Connect fused switch to the positive (+) 12/24-volt supply.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 11/2015
69540 Rev. C
REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
• Screwdriver
• Appropriate switch and fuse
• Drill and bits:
9/16 inch (1.43 cm) for wire clearance hole
3/32 inch (2.38 mm) for mounting pilot holes
• Two #8 pan head stainless steel screws
LOCATION
1. Lights are designed to be submersible and are for
underwater use only. Lights are intended for surface
mount.
2. Use template or measure and mark location for
9/16 inch wire clearance hole.
NOTE: Whenever possible, lights should be installed a
minimum of 10-inches below the waterline.
DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drill 9/16 inch (1.43 cm) hole for wire clearance.
2. Align light engine with the position you’ve drilled for the
wire clearance hole (Figure 1).
3. Use the light engine or template to mark locations for the
mounting screw pilot holes.
CAUTION: Position wire clearance hole carefully on
aluminum boat so that wires do not contact hull.
4. At the marked locations, drill two pilot holes for mounting
screws. Drill to adequate depth for screw length.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make wire connections according to the WIRING
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Using marine grade underwater sealant, seal around
drilled wire clearance hole and fasteners to prevent water
intrusion. Only seal where indicated in Figure1 and 2
and fastener holes.
3. DO NOT seal over back ridges since failure to comply will
cause lights to overheat and void warranty.
4. Add bezel to light assembly (if supplied).
CAUTION: Screws should t snuggly against bezel
assembly. DO NOT over tighten, doing so may cause
cracking of the light housing and light failure.
5. Insert screws through bezel housing (if supplied), light
engine, and gaskets then fasten light to surface. NOTE: If
stainless steel bezel is not used, a #8 pan head stainless
screw must be used (not included).

Apply marine sealant directly into wire clearance
and screw holes drilled into boat surface.
*Gaskets are placed between light assembly and
boat’s surface.
Add an
additional
“small”
quantity of
sealant around
wire lead to
help seal hole
as installed.
Note: Keep
sealant off
cooling ribs.
Failing to do
so will affect
the light’s
performance.
