Chapter 9: Lights
Care and Maintenance
All of the lights installed on your boat are of top quality, but you should be aware that failure may
periodically occur for a variety of reasons:
• There may be a blown fuse - replace the fuse.
• The bulb may be burned out - carry spare replacement bulbs, making sure the wattage is correct.
• 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 and Exterior Lights
CAUTION
!
• 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.
CAUTION
!
NOTICE
Running lights are legally required to show boat direction and right-of-way
at night.
Read the navigation light section in the Sport Boat Owner's Manual.
