Floodlights
Your boat might be equipped with one or more 12
VDC floodlights. The floodlights are usually mounted
on the T-top and the tow tower frame. You can use
the floodlights to illuminate the deck or surrounding
water while you are working or doing boarding opera-
tions.
Each floodlight is controlled by an OFF-ON rocker
switch located inside the T-top radio box. Each flood-
light power circuit is protected by a 10-amp push but-
ton breaker located above the rocker switch.
Turn off the floodlights when they are not required to
avoid discharging the house battery.
Turning the house battery OFF-ON switch to the OFF
position at the end of your mission will cut power to all
of the floodlight circuits.
Cockpit Lighting
Your boat might be equipped with red cockpit night
lighting. The lights are used to illuminate the deck sur-
faces without creating glare at night. The red cockpit
lights are usually installed in pairs, port and starboard.
Typically, they are located on the interior hull sides,
under the gunwale boards or ring deck.
To operate the red cockpit lights, move the COCKPIT
LIGHTS rocker switch at the helm station switch panel
to the ON position. Each cockpit light fixture also has
an OFF-ON rocker switch that is used to control the
individual light fixture.
The cockpit light power circuit is protected by a 10-
amp push button breaker located above the rocker
switch.
Turn off the cockpit lights when they are not required
to avoid discharging the house battery.
Turning the house battery OFF-ON switch to the OFF
position at the end of your mission will cut power to the
cockpit light circuit.
