Battery Installation
NOTE: Outboards with battery charging capabilities must not be operated with the battery cables disconnected from the
battery. Damage to the charging system may result.
Mounting Battery
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions carefully. Mount the battery in the boat so it is secured against movement,
preferably in a battery box. Ensure the battery is equipped with a nonconductive shield to prevent accidental shorting of the
battery terminals. Electric starting outboards must have the battery cables connected to a battery whenever the engine is
running, even if started manually, as damage to the charging system could result.
