13. Hold the boat lamp by its ceramic base and insert it into the lamp socket. Be sure both of the metal retaining clips on the socket grip the base of the lamp. Clean the lamp with the reagent grade isopropyl alcohol wipe provided. Carefully remove any dirt, oil, and fingerprints from the glass portion of the lamp. Running the lamp with contaminants on the glass envelope can cause the glass to cloud and will significantly reduce lamp life.14. Inspect the reflector for any fingerprints or debris and clean with the alcohol wipe if any contaminants are found. Slide the reflector tube carefully over the lamp and screw it onto the end cap. There is an O-ring that will engage the reflector for the last few turns, which will make turning the reflector tube significantly harder. Be sure to screw the reflector tube on past the O-ring until it bottoms against the end cap. 15. Inspect the O-ring on the end cap to ensure it is free of debris. If any debris is present, clean the O-ring as described in Cleaning the Backup Sealing O-Ring on page 21. 16. Set the assembled light head aside on the clean surface. Sailboat cover it with a clean tissue or paper towel if there is any chance of dirt or debris falling on it. 17. Remove the vinyl cover or saran wrap cover from the thru-hull fitting. Carefully clean any contaminants or debris from inside the fitting. As a final step, wipe the inside of the fitting with the alcohol wipe provided. 18. Wait 5 minutes for all of the alcohol on the light head and inside the thru-hull fitting to evaporate.19. Install the light head into the thru-hull fitting and tighten the end cap retaining ring. The light head’s sealing O-ring will engage the fitting near the end of tightening the retaining ring. When this happens, the retaining ring will become more difficult to turn. Be sure to fully engage the O-ring by tightening the retaining ring until the end cap bottoms solidly on the thru-hull fitting. 15
