INSTALLATION & SET UP
INSTRUCTIONS CONT...
1. MOUNTING THE STAINLESS STEEL BAYONET
MOUNTING BRACKET AND DECK SEAL
a. Select a location that allows for clear beam projection. The
Searchlight base should be mounted on a level, flat surface.
Make sure the light is able to rotate 360 degrees without
obstruction.
b. Use the mounting template to locate the stainless steel
bayonet mounting plate and deck seal supplied. A 3/4 inch
hole for the 12v supply needs to be drilled in the location also
highlighted on the mounting template. Drill 4 holes for fixing
the light to the deck. ITT Jabsco recommends stainless steel
mounting bolts with lock washers.
c. Mount the stainless steel mounting bracket so that the Jabsco
name on the base is facing to the rear. (arrow will show
forward)
d. Fasten light in place with 1/4 inch screws or bolts depending
on fixing method.
2. MOUNTING THE SEARCHLIGHT
a. Feed the power cables through the central holes in the
bayonet base deck seal. If possible lead the wires from the
inside of the boat to minimize the amount of cable between
the light and the bayonet base fitting. (see mounting
diagram)
b. Place the light on the bayonet base fitting with the security
locking grub screw located at 5 o’clock. Rotate the light into
the bayonet base fitting while applying reasonable pressure
until the security locking grub screw is at 6 o’clock (facing
rear).
c. Using the security locking grub screw key, lock the light in
place by rotating the security locking grub screw.
3. MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER
a. Select a location, which allows for convenient operation of the
control.
b. Drill three holes (see Panel Cutout Template enclosed) for
running the power supply cables and the fixing bolts.
c. Run the power cables through hole drilled from the inside of
the boat to minimize the amount of cable between the
controller and the mounting surface.
d. Fasten control using the installation kit included.
4. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The searchlight & the controller(s) should be installed on
independent electrical circuits. Additional controllers (max 3
additional) can be wired independently or on the same circuit
(see wiring diagrams 1 & 2). This is to make the re-learning of
the main controller or the initial learning of any additional
controllers a simple process (see learning additional controllers
section for info on the learning process). Consult the wire size
chart (below) for correct gauge of wire.
DANGER! - REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Disconnect power from the system before working on the
unit to avoid personal injury, damage to the surrounding
environment and/or damage to the unit.

LEARNING MODE PROCEDURE
Note: The controller included with this product was initialized at the
factory to communicate with the searchlight. It is not necessary to
conduct this procedure unless adding or replacing a
controller.
a. Disconnect battery power to the searchlight.
b. Disconnect power to the transmitter.
c. Re-connect power to transmitter.
d. Press and hold the “on/off” button and the left
directional arrow on the controller while
reconnecting power to the searchlight. The
searchlight will turn “on” within (2) seconds.
e. Code synchronization is then complete.
LEARNING ADDITIONAL CONTROLLERS TO THE UNIT
The Jabsco 233SL can support up to (4) separate controllers. Each
time a controller is added to the system, or is replaced, all controllers
require re-initialization using the above procedure. Power to the
searchlight must be disconnected then reconnected while pressing
the controllers “on/off” button for each controller added.

CLEANING OF EXTERIOR SURFACES
Recommendation for cleaning exterior surfaces is a solution of warm
water and a mild detergent soap.
CAUTION!
Do not use cleaners that contain esters, halogenated
solvents, aromatic solvents, ketones and strong acids
or bases.
CAUTION! - BURN HAZARD
Burn hazard. Do not touch lens when light is “on”.
