Battery Disconnection
To remove the battery cables:
Removal of Batteries
Remove the negative cable first, then the positive cable. To replace the cables,
first replace the positive cable, then the negative.
See table of batteries on previous page.
Batteries should be disconnected when not in use and especially while
the boat is unattended.
Replenish only with distilled water. Do not use metal funnel.
If you need to charge a battery, use only a battery charger designed to charge
automotive/marine batteries. Use charger only when batteries are disconnected
from the boat's electrical circuit. Follow the charger instructions.
Battery Maintenance
When charging and (dis)connecting a battery ensure that no water or
metal objects can contact the terminals.
Turn off all items drawing power from the battery.
Ensure that the battery space is well ventilated at all times.
The life of some battery types is shortened if drained to zero charge. It is
recommended that a battery not be discharged more than 50 percent. If the battery
does become run down, recharge it as soon as possible.
Check the fluid levels in the cells (if appropriate for the battery type) approximately
every 4 weeks, and weekly in summer and hot zones.
If your boat will not be used for several weeks remove the batteries from the boat
and connect them to a charger.
Turn the battery switch to the OFF position
Keep batteries clean and dry.
Disconnect switch location(s):
Stbd Helm console
Caution
The fluid level must be between the lower and upper markings.
Running the engine to recharge the battery may not be effective. The alternator
only creates charging power at higher engine speeds, idling for long periods will
not generate enough power to recharge the battery.
