Description
The GUEST 500A remote control spotlight uses a sophisticated, high-powered halogen
bulb. The penetrating 100-watt beam can illuminate objects up to one (1) mile away.
All Guest Beamer spotlights can rotate 355° and move up and down through an 80°
arc. Although the model 500A cannot be upgraded for wireless control, multiple
control panels can be installed using the 729824-P dual station control. The model
500A comes complete with spotlight, and remote control panel.
This unit is designed for 12 volt operation only.

You will also need marine grade stranded, 2- conductor, 12gauge wire to connect the spotlight and the control panel
to 12-volt DC power sources. (Use 10-gauge wire if the light
will be more than 30 feet (9mm) from its power source.)
Installation
Mounting the Spotlight
1. Select a horizontal , smooth surface to mount the spotlight on. Be sure you will
have access to the underside of the chosen location, and that you will be able to
drill holes there without damaging existing wiring or structures. Avoid locations
where lines, anchors, sails or other hazards might cause damage to the light.
NOTE:
Mounting the light as far forward or as high as possible can help to reduce
reflected glare from the deck when the light is in use.
2. Remove the large foam gasket from the box and use it as a template for the
footprint of the light. Note: Front mounting holes are further apart than rear
mounting holes. Mark the location of the four corner holes and the center hole
squarely onto the mounting surface with pencil.
3. Drill four 5/16" (8mm) holes and one ½” in the center through the mounting
surface at the marked points.
NOTE:
Always wear eye protection when using power tools.
4. Install the foam gasket on to the base of the spotlight, making sure that all eight
wires exit through the center hole in the gasket.
5. Feed the Three wires coming out of the base of the light through the center hole in
the mounting surface. A
small
amount of a
non
-silicone sealant, (such as StarBrite®
Boat Caulk #83801), can be applied to where the bolts and the wires penetrate the
mounting surface.
CAUTION!
Silicone based sealants may cause damage to the foam gasket or to the base of the
light.
6. It is recommended that you use marine grade plywood as a back-plate.
