Connect the battery cables to the battery. Attach the red cable to the positive (+)
side of the battery and attach the black cable to the negative (-) side of the
battery.
The battery should be kept in a covered battery box secured to the floor of the
boat and away from gasoline vapors.

We recommend using a good nylon rope to tie
your boat instead of a boat strap. Tie the rope
to the trailer frame on one side of the boat
even with the hand grip. Bring the rope over
the boat and make a wrap around the hand
grip on the Surface Drive, then tie a loop in the
rope before the rope comes down the side of
the boat. Bring the rope around the trailer
frame and back up to the loop, cinch the rope
tight and tie it off.
This procedure will hold your boat as tight as any boat strap and will secure your
Surface Drive so it will not bounce when trailering. We also recommend that you
tie a red flag to the tail end of the Surface Drive when towing your boat down the
highway.
