1.3 POINTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE
INSTALLATION
 • ThePACIFICLIGHTwasfullyassembledbefore
leaving our premises.
1.3.1 POSITIONING THE SYSTEM
 • YourWINDPILOTshouldbeinstalledatthecentre
of the transom approximately 10 cm/4 in below
deck level.
 • Off-centreinstallationispossible(max.10cm/4in)
but not ideal.
 • Ifyourboathasacentrallymountedbathingladder,
it should be relocated to the port side.
 • CAUTION:thinktwicebeforemovingtheladderto
the starboard side. When the pendulum rudder is
raised, the pendulum arm 300 swings down very
close to the bottom of the transom on the starboard
side - check for clearance.
 • TIP: install the PACIFIC LIGHT first, then sort out
the bathing ladder.
 • Tiesafetylinestoallcomponentsbeforeyoustart.
 • Secureclamps860onthemountingbracketwith
tape.
 • CoatthemountingboltswithlanolinorDuralac.
 • ShouldIuseaspiritlevel?No,boatsarenever
perfectly level; it is better to trust your eye.
