attwood 7200 Series Anchor or Masthead Light Instruction Manual
FEATURES
Attwood 3-mile (4.8 km) Anchor/Masthead Lights consist of anodized aluminum poles with lightweight heads. Horizontal and vertical bases allow light pole to be adjusted and locked within a 180° arc.
Lights provide a 3-mile, 225° forward running light and 2-mile all-round
anchor light. For power-driven boats boats up to 65.6 feet (20 meters).
Lights meet USCG CFR 183.810, ABYC A-16 requirements, and all applicable
standards as tested by Imanna Laboratory, Inc., December 17, 2003. Lights use
8-watt festoon lamp, #9230 (for 12-volt systems) or #910409 (for 24-volt
systems).
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, disconnect the power source when installing or
servicing any electrical product. Remove vessel from water when using any 120
VAC power tools.
Lens can be HOT and can melt or scorch fabric. When folded down, turn light
OFF and be sure lens does not touch anything.

MOUNTING LOCATION
CAUTION
Install light so that fin (Figure 3) is TOWARD STERN and aligned on the
fore/aft centerline of the vessel (within 1°). If not properly aligned, lights
will not shine in required fore/aft arc.
Base must pivot on the fore/aft centerline and be mounted on a surface that
allows a 360° arc of unobstructed light visibility. (Figure 1)
Bases are available for mounting on vertical or horizontal surfaces. Release
the cam-lock adjustment handle to fold light or adjust to vertical position.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Change Base Type (If Required)
Packaged versions of the Anchor/Masthead Light are shipped with the vertical base installed. To switch to the horizontal base:
- Carefully remove the cam-lock screw and oblong washer. Set aside for re installation (Figure 2).
- Pivot the base axle out of its socket. Note position of the 3 wires in the base slot. Remove the vertical base.
- Insert wires through slot of the horizontal base. Install in reverse order.
For windshield, on horizontal
Install Light
-
Release cam-lock adjustment handle and adjust light to vertical position. (Figure 3)
-
Place light in selected position. BE SURE THAT FIN IS ALIGNED TOWARD STERN.
-
Use provided adaptors, if necessary, to allow installation on angled windshields.
-
Using the base as a template, mark the two mounting hole locations and one wire access hole. (Figure 4)
CAUTION
Position wire access hole carefully, especially on aluminum boats, so that wires do not contact the hull. -
Remove light. Drill two 1/8″ (3mm) pilot holes for #10 screws. Drill one 3/8″ (10mm) wire access hole.
Bring two 16-gauge (+) wires and one 16-gauge (-) wire up through access hole. DO NOT connect power to switch until you read
CONNECT POWER TO SWITCH. -
Use marine-grade waterproof crimp connectors to connect blue wire to one (+) positive lead from 3-position switch; connect gray wire to second (+) lead. Connect (-) negative source to black wire and route to (-) negative terminal on battery.
-
Fasten light to deck with two #10 stainless steel pan head screws.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
CONNECT POWER TO SWITCH
Use ONLY the rated voltage. Higher voltage can damage light and void product warranty. All positive (+) wires must be protected by fuse (2-amp for 12-volt, 1-amp for 24-volt).
- Use 3-position, double-pole OFF/ON/ON switch. (Figure 5)
- From the anchor/masthead light, connect gray wire to one (+) switch terminal. This switch position should operate all-round anchor light (both lamps).
- Connect blue wire to the remaining (+) terminal. This position should operate forward masthead running light only (one lamp forward) and all other navigation lights.
- Test forward running and anchor lights for proper operation.
MAINTENANCE
- To replace lens or lamps, remove top retaining screw and lens.
