protect circuits and vessel. The aluminum light pole is not grounded.
WARNING To prevent personal injury, disconnect power when installing
or servicing this product. Remove boat from water before using any

LOCATION
Lights must be mounted to an unobstructed smooth surface on the
gunwale, deck or superstructure. Locate Bi-color Combination Light
in an area as far forward as possible. (Figure 1)
INSTALLATION
All positive (+12V DC) wires must be fused to protect your circuits
and vessel. The Bi-color navigation light requires a 1-amp fuse. The
aluminum pole is not connected to an electrical ground (Figure 2).
Regulations require lights to be operated with a three-position switch
for running lights (bow lights and all-round light) and anchor lights
(all-round light only).

require re-wiring.
To re-wire if necessary:
1. Unscrew or remove the base so you can reach wiring.
2. Locate the connection between base wiring and the boat's wiring
harness.
3. Cut wires. Add waterproof splice to each wire end.
4. Reverse polarity by reversing original wire connection to the wire

harness.
5. Temporarily plug light into the base to check operation.
6. Remove light and reinstall base.
NOTE: Navigation light poles are designed to support only the light. They should
never be used as flag poles or handles.
MAINTENANCE
When not in use, store in Pole Light Storage Clips (Attwood part #7571).
