TACO Surface Mount LED Side Navigation Light Set - 1-3/4" - F38-6610D

Key Features & Marine-Grade Engineering

• Ultra-Low Profile Surface Mount: Mounts flush against hardtops, gunnels, or hulls using compatible marine adhesive sealants, avoiding deep cutouts or complex structural modifications.
  
  
• Heavy-Gauge Polished Stainless Steel: Enclosed in mirror-polished, corrosion-resistant stainless steel covers built to endure harsh marine spray and deck traffic.
  
  
• IP68 Submersible Construction: Fully encapsulated electronics guarantee complete protection against continuous water immersion, humidity, and salt corrosion.
  
  
• 112.5° Unobstructed Visibility: Delivers compliant, glare-free port and starboard light distribution for powerboats and sailboats up to 40 feet (12 meters).
  
  
• Wide Voltage Range (12–24V DC): Integrated Multivolt™-style drivers protect against power surges and drop-offs across standard 12V or 24V marine battery systems.
  
  
• Ultra-Low Current Draw: Consumes just 3 watts (0.25 Amps @ 12V DC) per light, drastically reducing house battery drain during night runs or extended anchorings.

Installation & Operational Best Practices

• Surface Preparation: Clean the mounting area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove wax, oil, and sea spray before applying marine sealant.
  
  
• Adhesive Sealant: Use a high-quality marine adhesive/sealant (such as 3M™ 4000 UV or equivalent) around the wiring pass-through hole and cover perimeter to ensure a watertight seal without marring the stainless steel.
  
  
• Proper Alignment: Ensure the port (red) and starboard (green) lights are aligned strictly parallel to the vessel's centerline to maintain the required 112.5° visibility arc according to USCG standards.
