Caution! Do not pull on the sailboat lamp by the clear glass envelope. 7. Remove the lamp from the socket by pulling on the ceramic base of the lamp with one hand while using the other to release either of the metal retaining clips. It is usually only necessary to release one of the clips to extract the lamp. Wiggling the lamp slightly as you pull it out also helps. The used lamp can be discarded. 8. Inspect the internal parts of the light head. WARNING! Do not continue to use a light that has damaged internal parts. Doing so may result in damage to the light, overheating, fire, injury and even death. If damaged parts are found, contact your local distributor or DeepSea Power & Light for a replacement. a. Inspect the socket for any signs of damage. If the socket is damaged, do not use the light until a replacement is obtained. b. Inspect the reflector for any signs of damage. If the reflector is damaged, do not use the light until a replacement is obtained. If the reflector does not function properly, the thru-hull fitting can become very hot and could possibly damage the hull of the vessel. c. Inspect the O-ring on the rear end cap for any signs of debris and damage. If debris is present, clean the O-ring as described in Cleaning the Backup Sealing O-Ring on page 21. If the O-ring is damaged, do not use the light until a replacement is obtained. 9. Using the small (1/8”) flat blade screwdriver, remove the internal snap ring that holds the black plastic lamp socket mount in the metal end cap. Next, remove the O-ring that resides behind the snap ring. 10. Grab the lamp socket and gently pull until the lamp socket mount is clear of the rear end cap. Use caution because multiple wires are attached to the lamp socket. 11. Remove the used desiccant pouch and discard it. 12. Use the scissors to open the plastic bag for boat containing the desiccant pouch. Remove the pouch and insert it in the cavity in the end cap that holds the lamp socket. The moisture indicator for boat packed with the desiccant pouch can be discarded. 13. Begin reassembling the light by replacing the lamp socket in the end cap. The lamp socket mount has a semicircular cutout in its base that must be aligned over the ground screw at the rear of the end cap. This is most easily done by inserting the socket with the alignment approximately correct, then turning the end cap back and forth slightly until the cutout drops over the ground screw. 14. Place the O-ring onto the lamp socket mount and reinsert the snap ring. A flat-blade screwdriver is helpful, but use caution not to damage the lamp socket. 15. Open the package containing the new lamp. Hold the 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.16. Inspect the reflector for any fingerprints or debris. 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 tube 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. 17. Set the assembled light head aside on the clean surface. Cover for boats it with a clean tissue or paper towel if there is any chance of dirt or debris falling on it. 19
