Cat No. 0253 Series Side Lights
The above lights are designed for use on power driven vessels

MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding
1).
For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to the A.B.Y.C.
Standard A-16*, the ‘72 COLREGS* and the U.S. Inland Rules*. These lights are
supplied complete with 12 volt bulb (Cat No. 0071DP0CLR 12V, 10W), however,
24 volt bulbs (0072DP1CLR) are available for 24 volt systems. Note: PERKO Series
0252 & 0253 side lights used with a 24V are not certified in accordance with 33 CFR
183.810 as these lights are intended for replacement use only on appropriate vessels
constructed prior to 11/1/03. All previous certifications apply.
2).
These lights are designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface.
3).
Draw a 6 inch long reference line through the center of the selected mounting loca-
tion and parallel to the centerline of the boat.
4).
Cut out the mounting template. Place it on the mounting surface such that the ref-
erence line (drawn above) is directly underneath the reference line marked on the
template.
5).
Drill 2 holes through the template to accommodate #8 round or pan head mounting
screws. Drill a 1/4 inch hole to accommodate the electric wiring.
6).
Attach supply connections to the light, making sure to wire in accordance with both
A.B.Y.C. Standard E-9* and U.S. Coast Guard Safety Standards for Boat Electrical
Systems (33 CFR 183)*.
7).
Mount the light in accordance with the template. Note that there are thin reference
marks around the outside of the base that must be aligned with the reference line
(drawn in Step #3) for final accuracy of mounting orientation.
* The above referenced Standards can be obtained from.
