Optional two part epoxy for filling cored fiberglass vessels.
•
Optional stir stick for epoxy.

Optional utility knife for trimming back core material.
1.€ Drill hole with hole saw:
• The hole for the Aqua Light should be located a minimum of 6
inches below the water line for the AL75 and lower series, and 12
inches below the water line for the AL100 and higher series.
•
The Aqua Cam should be located as far below the water line as
practical for the best viewing angle.
•
The best method is to locate your position on the hull, leaving room
to service the light with adequate room for ventilation around the
fixture as the housing will warm up after prolonged use.
•
Never use your lights when the housing is out of the water except
when testing the light on initial install for less then 5 minutes.
•
When the location has been marked, find the same spot on the
inside of the hull and check your clearances. Then drill the pilot hole
from inside the vessel, as this will ensure the proper placement of the
light fixture.
•
Finish drilling the final hole using the proper whole saw from the
outside. Always being careful, the drill may come in contact with a
screw or other hardware that might cause the drill to jump.
•
Inspect the hull for core material. If you have core material, this
must be sealed to avoid the entry of water into the core. It will also
enhance the strength of the edges of the glass material.
2.€ Trim core to allow room:
• Trim core to allow room for two-part epoxy or vessel manufacturer
recommended material allow set.
