Effortless Installation for DIY Boaters
Setting up the Hubbell HBL105 doesn't require a marine electrician. Here's a straightforward guide to get you powered up:
- Turn off all power sources and disconnect the shore cord for safety.
- Choose a flat, accessible spot on your boat's transom or hull side, away from bilge water.
- Drill a precise hole using the provided template—typically 2-1/8 inches for flush mounting.
- Route your onboard wiring through the inlet's rear, securing connections with anti-oxidant compound to fight corrosion.
- Mount securely with stainless steel screws, apply marine sealant around the edges, and test the connection.
Pro tip: Always use tinned marine wire for connections to maximize longevity in humid conditions. Most installs take under an hour, transforming your docking routine.

Keep It Performing Like New: Simple Maintenance
A little care goes a long way. Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater trip, inspect blades for wear annually, and lubricate the cover hinge with silicone grease.
