Installation & compatibility tips

To complete the setup, pair the Seaview 5" Modular Mount with the appropriate top plate (sold separately). This two-part assembly lets you tailor the mounting height and angle for your specific boat layout. When selecting a light bar, verify the mounting pattern matches the Seaview AM5M1 interface and confirm the weight and windage your vessel can safely support. Regularly check fasteners for corrosion and re-tighten as needed after heavy seas or long storage periods.

Maintenance and care

Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt spray, dry thoroughly, and apply corrosion-resistant hardware as needed. The vertical design minimizes dirt collection and makes routine inspections straightforward, so you can keep your lighting system mission-ready with minimal downtime.
