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 0229 & 0232 used with a 24V bulb (Cat. No. 0072DP1CLR)
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 location and parallel to the centerline of the boat.
4). Cut out the mounting template. Place it on the mounting surface such that the reference 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.
