FEATURES

This base is designed for use with Attwood All-Round Lights and Attwood Pole-Mounted Combination Sidelights. The base includes a locking spring that holds the pole tightly in place.

CAUTION:

For 12-volt D.C. only.

Always disconnect the power source when installing or servicing this product. Always remove the boat from the water before using 120V AC power tools.

REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION	Figure 1
• Cordless drill	Figura 1

•1/16" bit, 1" and 7/8" hole saws or bits

•4 #10 stainless steel pan head screws suitable

for the deck material (do not use flat head screws)

•Waterproof crimp connectors for 16-gauge wire

•Fuse-holder and fuse (amperage depends on light used)

•2- or 3- Position switch (depending on lights used)

LOCATION

Figure 1 is a simplified drawing showing placement of navigation lights in relationship to one another.

1. For Pole-Mounted Combination Sidelights: Position the light base at the bow and on the centerline of the boat.

2. For All-Round Lights: Position light base at the stern, on the starboard side.

INSTALLATION

1.At the selected location, mark position for a pilot hole at exact center of the light base. (See Figure 2)

2.Before drilling, MAKE SURE that:

•Mounting surface is flat

•You will not drill into wires, hoses, or other obstructions

•Area is large enough to fit base (1-1/2" W x 3-3/8" L, 38mm x 86mm).

3.Drill pilot holes at both center marks. Drill clearance holes as shown below. (Figure 2)

4.Remove burrs from around the hole. On aluminum boats, be certain wires can not contact hull. Feed wires and base socket into hole in deck.

5.For Bow Light, align base with boat centerline and place hinge toward bow. Using base as template, mark position of mounting screws.

NOTE: If area below the base will not be reachable after installation, attach suitable lengths of 16-gauge color-matched NON-POWERED wire that can be routed to an accessible area. Make connections according to WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (Figure 3).

6.Remove base and drill for mounting screws.

7.Gasket provided must be used instead of caulk under base to prevent locking feature malfunction. Reinsert base, and fasten with four #10 stainless steel screws

(not provided). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN screws.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

Failure to make proper connections and fuse the light base properly will void the product warranty.

Polarity is important. If wiring is mis-connected, LED-illuminated lights will not operate.

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

1.Navigation rules require sidelights to be operated separately from anchor lights. Use either two switches or a single switch with three positions for off / anchor / navigation (Figure 3).

2.For all wiring connections, use crimp-type marine-grade connectors with suitable waterproof insulation. Protect all connections with suitable materials. (Figure 3)

(2 wire base):

•Connect the (-) black wire to the negative (-) wire from the 12-volt supply.

•Connect the (+) gray wire to a fused and switched positive (+) 12-volt supply.

(3 wire base):

•Connect the (-) black wire to the negative (-) wire from the 12-volt supply.

•Connect the (+) gray wire to a fused switch (+) for the navigation light.

•Connect the (+) blue wire to a fused positive (+) wire from the 12-volt supply.

OPERATION

NOTE: This base accepts many non-Attwood light poles. However, the locking function does not operate with other manufacturers’ poles.

NOTE: Attwood Locking Collar stays above the Easy Lock Base

1.Align pole screw with locking spring. Insert pole into base (Figure 4).

2.Press down firmly to engage electrical connectors. Be sure locking spring clicks over pole screw.

3.On poles with Attwood Locking Collar do not try to insert collar into base; allow collar to remain above base.

4.To remove pole:

•Pull locking spring back

•Pull pole straight up.

5.Close cover to protect contacts when not in use.

TO CONVERT POLE FOR USE WITHOUT LOCKING COLLAR

1.Remove screw at bottom of pole. Slide locking collar off end of pole.

2.Replace screw in the upper screw hole.
