Chapter 9: Lights

Care & Maintenance
Although all lights installed on your boat are of top quality, they will occassionally fail. Always carry spare bulbs of
the correct size and wattage, but before replacing non functioning lights, check for other common causes, such as:
• There may be a blown fuse - replace the fuse.
• A wire may be damaged or may have come loose - repair as required.
• The bulb base may be corroded - clean the base and coat it with non-conductive electrical lubricant.
Interior & Exterior Lights
• Be conservative in the use of battery power.
• Prolonged use of cabin interior lights (overnight) WILL result in a drained battery.
• The lights are powered by your boat's 12-volt DC system.
• The battery switch must be turned On for the lights to work.

Navigation Lights

Avoid the storage of gear where it would block navigation lights from view.
Running lights are legally required to show boat direction and right-of-way at night.
