Dockside Battery Charging (Option)
Depending on options, this vessel may be equipped with one or two battery charging connections, one at the
stern for the house batteries and one at the port console for either the gyroscopic stabilizer or the trolling motor
batteries (see Figure 4.7.1). Before using, inspect the batteries and charging system for loose connections
or wiring. To charge the batteries, connect the extension cord to a ground fault circuit interrupter outlet at
home or at the dock. Completely draining the batteries before recharging shortens battery life. If a battery
remains discharged long enough it becomes impossible to charge.
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death from fire
explosion or electrical shock, the charger must
be connected to a ground fault circuit interrupter
protected outlet.
A heavy duty UL approved extension cord can be
used to connect to charger. After connection is
made, plug extension cord into 120VAC ground
fault circuit interrupter outlet. When charging
is complete, unplug outlet first, then charger.
