The battery chargers, (see Figure 4.2.1) automatically
increase current output when there is a drop in
battery voltage. When the batteries are charged,
the units maintain a small current flow to keep the
batteries fully charged and ready for service without
overcharging.
Overload Protection
If an electrical short or overload occurs in the
electrical system the charger will reduce its output

Maintenance
Before use, check each battery and the charging
system for loose connections or wiring. Normal
maintenance should include:
• Coat the terminals with dielectric grease
• Keep the batteries dry
• Remove the batteries from the boat during
cold weather or long term storage.
The most life shortening experience for the battery
is to be drained to zero charge before recharging.
NOTICE
The bow thruster, battery charger, and battery
trays are deleted w/ joystick option.
