MOUNTING INFORMATION
Read all instructions before proceeding.
1). For proper light selection, positioning and configuration, refer to A.B.Y.C. Standard A-16*, the ‘72 COLREGS*, and
the U.S. Inland Rules*. These lights are supplied with 12 volt bulbs, (Cat. No. 0071DP0CLR - 12V, 10W), however,
24 volt bulbs (Cat. No. 0072DP1CLR) are available for 24 volt systems. Note: PERKO Series 1601 & 1602 lights
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 certifica-
tions apply.
2). This light is designed to be mounted on a horizontal surface.
3). Draw a 4 inch long reference line through the center of the selected mounting location, parallel to the centerline of
the boat.
4). Cut out the mounting template below. 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 oval head mounting screws. Drill one 1/2 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 with a suitable bedding compound. Note that there are two thin
reference marks around the outside of the light that must be aligned with the reference line (drawn in Step #3) for
the final accuracy of mounting orientation.
