CONTROL MOUNTING
1. Select a location near the helm position to mount the control.
Check under the mounting area to assure there is adequate
clearance for the control.
2. Cut 2-3/4" (70mm) diameter hole for the control and drill two
pilot holes for the mounting screws.
3. Power to control must be controlled by the boat running light
switch. The searchlight control has LED illumination that will
go on with the boat running lights. The searchlight can only
be used with the running lights on. The running light circuit
must be capable of carrying the amperage load in addition to
the running lights and have a fuse or circuit breaker of appro-
priate size.
4. Connect the RED control power lead to the switched side of the
running light circuit. Connect the BLACK control power lead to
a battery negative source. DO NOT connect in reverse polarity,
as control damage may result. Use 12–14 gauge wire to extend
power leads if necessary.
5. Bring power leads and light cable through hole and plug into
back of control.
6. To eliminate electrical interference produced by other electron-
ic components on the boat that might affect the searchlight
control, route the searchlight control cable to the light away
from other components such as radios, GPS receivers and other
navigation units.
7. Insert control with attached cables into hole and fasten with
screws. A non-adhesive sealing compound should be used un-
der the control mounting flange.
8. For joy-stick type of control, thread black lever into center hole.
For touch-pad operation, insert black cap into threaded hole.
CLEANING OF EXTERIOR PLASTIC SURFACES
Recommendation for cleaning "Exterior Surfaces" is a solution of
warm water and a mild detergent soap.
CAUTION Do not use cleaners that contain esters, halogenated sol
vents, aromatic solvents, ketones and strong acids or bases.

LIGHT OPERATION
IMPORTANT — Do not shine the searchlight in any manner that will
impair the vision of other boat operators.
The running light switch for the boat must be "on" for searchlight to
operate. With the running light switch "on", the searchlight control
will be illuminated.
SLOW — Press once to select slow light movement speed. Press
again to turn light off.
FAST — Press once to select fast light movement speed. Press again
to turn light off.
DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT — The center lever is moved left, right,
fore and aft to move light beam. If desired, the center lever can be
unscrewed (counterclockwise) and the black cap (supplied) can be
pressed into the center hole. The light movement is then controlled
by touching one of the four arrows.
AUTO SWEEP — With the light on, pushing this button will sweep
the light in about a 90 degree arc automatically. This is useful in
narrow canals and channels, freeing both hands for boat control.
Press again to stop auto sweep.
SOS/DISTRESS — Press and hold for about five seconds to automat-
ically flash "SOS" in International Morse Code. The light will sweep
horizontally while flashing the SOS. Press again to stop the SOS
flashing.
IMPORTANT — Do not allow anyone to "playfully" transmit the SOS
signal! The SOS signal will not be transmitted with the boat's run-
ning lights "off".
CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The searchlight control has built-in circuit breaker protection for the
searchlight. The breaker can be reset by turning the light on then
off with the running lights on.
DUAL STATION CONTROL
The optional Dual Station Control Kit #64044-0000 is used when
an additional searchlight control location is desired.
1. Install control in the dual station kit as covered in the "Control
Mounting" section of these instructions.
2. Using the 15' cable and Y adaptor included in the dual station
kit, connect the cable into the light control cable.
Optional extension cables may be used where necessary to fit the
application. Also, the 3 conductor cable may be cut and spliced
together if too long.
