2021 INSTALL & OPERATION MANUAL
8
This process is made much easier if a second person is inside the hull to receive the light and install the
locking equipment whilst supporting the light from the outside. Breakages due to lights falling out of the
hull are NOT covered under warranty and can cause serious bodily injury as can any falling object.
6. If using a Delrin Isolation Kit, Insert the Isolation Kit flat washer over the mounting tube and locate it flush with the
hull.
7. Insert the stainless-steel compression washer over the mounting tube.
The stainless-steel compression washer does not need to be flat to the hull, a slightly uneven surface can
be compensated by the washer.
8. Place the two C clips together to form a circle, ensuring you pair 1 threaded and 1 non-threaded hole
together. Fix the clips together using one of the screws provided so that the clips are located approximately
halfway down the length of the screw. Locate the clips into the appropriate grooves (depending on hull
thickness) on outside of the mounting tube so that the end of the screw is close to the washer. Fit the
screws provided into the remaining holes, fixing the two clips together. Leave the longer screw out to
connect the light to the vessel’s cathodic protection system. Once connected, screw down this screw to the
same position as the others:
9. Tighten the locking screws using a 5mm Allen key, applying thread lock at point of thread contact with locking
ring.
DO NOT
over-tighten locking screws, as you could damage the mounting tube, and this will not be
covered under warranty.
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 seal you have installed on the unit is fully watertight. If in doubt, remove light, re-apply sealant
and re-install.
