FEATURES:
This base is designed for use with the Attwood 7100 Series All-Round
Lights and Attwood Combination Sidelights with an angled pole.

For 12-volt D.C. only.

CAUTION:

To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the power source when
installing or servicing this product.  Always remove the boat from the
water before using 120V AC power tools.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE:
  For technical detailed positioning follow the standards of
navigation rules.  Below (see Figure 1) are simplified drawings of
placement of navigational lights in relationship to one another.

Figure 2

1. Position the light base either on the bow for combination sidelights

or the stern for all-round lights.  Be sure that the mounting surface is
flat and that the selected area will accommodate the base dimensions.

2. Using the template provided (see Figure 2), locate the base center

line parallel to the boat fore-and aft center line and carefully mark
the center installation hole and the three screw holes.  Drill 1-3/8"
diameter hole being very careful not to crack or break the gelcoat
finish around the edge of the hole.  Drill the three screw holes.
Ensure no burrs are left around 1-3/8" hole.

NOTE:  On some installations you may have to connect the wires then
push them back through wire hole prior to screwing down the base.

3. Apply sealant between deck and light base.  Fasten base in place

with three stainless steel screws.

CAUTION:  DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.

4. Wire as follows:

A.  911339 (2-wire base):  Connect one black wire to the battery
ground (-) harness, using a crimp-on wire connector.  Attach the
remaining black wire to the positive switched wire from the
navigation light switch.

B.  911639 (3-wire base):  Connect black wire to the battery
ground (-) harness, using a wire connector.  Connect the solid
gray wire to the wire from the switch for the anchor, courtesy, or
navigation light (depending on the light being used).  Use a wire
connector to make the connection.  Connect the black/gray wire
to the wire from the switch for the navigation, courtesy, or running
lights (depending on which light is used) using a wire connector.

NOTE:  Follow instructions for specific light being used in this base
for wire connections.

C.  All positive wires must be fused to protect the circuit.  Tape
connections for added safety.  MAKE SURE POWER SOURCE
IS 12-VOLT D.C. ONLY.  HIGHER VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO LIGHT AND WIRE CIRCUITRY.

5. Check the base function by first rotating the cover 90

°

, exposing

the hole for the pole.  Insert the light pole into the socket and lock
in place by rotating cover 90

°

.  Turn navigation running lights on

to make certain they function properly.  Turn anchor or courtesy
switch on and make certain light works properly.  Remove the
pole by rotating the cover 90

°

 and, once pole is removed, rotate

the cover 90

°

 forward to cover the hole, to keep dust and dirt out.

This product carries the standard Attwood one year warranty.
