9. Locate the latches into the appropriate grooves (depending on hull thickness) on outside of the stem so that the
end of the bolt is close to the washer. Fix the two latches together and screw down the joining bolt to the same
position as the others.

10. Tighten the locking bolts using a 5mm Allen key, applying thread lock at point of thread contact with locking
latches. Torque to 2Nm.
DO NOT
over-tighten locking bolts.
11. Lock the bonding wire eyelet in place with the nut and shakeproof washer. Tighten the locking nut using a
10mm spanner.
12. Once you are satisfied that the unit is fully tightened, you will notice that sealant has squeezed out from
around the perimeter of the light. Using a thinner or cleaner, apply to cloth and wipe off excess sealant to
leave a clean seal.
AVOID CONTACT WITH LENS
. If you do not see sealant squeeze out from the body, you
have not used enough sealant or tightened the unit enough to the hull. Carefully examine the installation to
make sure the sealant you have installed on the unit is fully watertight. If in doubt, remove light, re-apply
sealant and re-install.

vessel’s cathodic protection system.
BONDING:

mandatory to check that there is full continuity between the vessel
’s cathodic protection system and the
aluminium bronze front bezel. Please see the bonding check schematic in the Appendix (Section 7.2).
