Chapter 6: Maintenance and Service
W A R N I N G
Do not allow any electrically conductive material to make contact with both the positive and
negative terminals at the same time (i.e. a hand tool used when disconnecting and reconnecting
battery cables). A short of this nature can cause severe burns and create dangerous sparks
which could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
C A U T I O N
When disconnecting and reconnecting battery cables, the black cable must be connected to
the negative terminal and the red cable must be connected to the positive terminal. Reversing
these connections will immediately damage your system.
Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running. This can cause damage to the
charging system. When replacing your battery, use the same brand and type as the factory
installed battery. If this is not available, reference your engine Owner’s Manual for
recommended battery type and required performance specifications.
Inverter Batteries
Some models have inverter powered accessories such as the grill or air conditioning that utilize
gel cell batteries. For care of these batteries please reference Chapter 8.
LED Lighting
LED (light emitting diode) fixtures do not have bulbs and are not serviceable. LEDs have
extremely long life and should not need replacement during the life of the boat. In the event of
damage or malfunction, the entire light assembly should be replaced. See your Grady-White dealer
for replacement LEDs.
