GS-950 MOUNT INSTALLATION
FOR MASTHEAD ANCHOR LIGHT
1. Use the drill template to mark and drill with a 1/4" bit the three bolt holes.
2. If your top requires spacers, trim the included vinyl spacers to the depth of your
hardtop thickness. Insert the vinyl spacers into each bolt hole.
3. Place a bead of marine-grade sealant on the underside of the mounting plate. This
helps prevent water intrusion.
4. Securely bolt the base to the mounting surface. Be careful not to deform the top.
5. Connect wire according to Figures on page 7 and 8.
6. Use a 7A fuse in the main +12 VDC power feed (not included).
7. Use a 3A fuse for the light (not included).
8. Ensure the Black wire has a good connection to battery ground.
9. Operate the unit in both directions using the momentary switch.

other for adjustment.

the light tube assembly to
the mount.

LED Light Tube, apply a thin
layer of marine grease, anti-
