Important: Before drilling mounting holes, be sure that light shines within
5° of horizontal when the boat is floating.

FINAL WIRING
CAUTION:
Power source must be positive 12V DC only. All positive (+12V DC)
wires must be fused to protect the circuit. Attwood Pulsar Navigation
Lights require a 1-amp fuse. Failure to make proper connections and
fusing will void product warranty.
1. Neatly thread wires to dash avoiding any areas where abrasion or
snagging may occur.
2. Use waterproof crimp on butt joint connectors to attach wires to a
switch on the dash that allows for two-position operation - one for
running lights and one for anchor lights. Test lights for proper
operation. (Figure 5)
