Your battery is an important part of your boat. It provides
all of the power to start your boat and also allows all of your
electrical components to work, even if the motor is not
running (bilge pump, blower, stereo, etc.).
Because of it’s important role, Moomba recommends using
a good quality “Marine Dual Purpose” battery. The “Dual
Purpose” rating means that it can provide the cranking
Amps needed to start your motor and also has an Amp
hour discharge rating so it can handle low electrical draw
-down cycle.
Your Moomba electrical system is negative ground. The
negative battery cable is grounded on the engine block. The
positive battery cable is connected to the starter solenoid.
Connect the positive (+) battery cable to the positive (+) post
on the battery. Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the
negative (-) post on the battery.
Failure to connect battery cables as outlined will damage
the system and void the warranty.
Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during normal
battery operation and charging. Sparks or flames near the
battery vent openings can cause the mixture to ignite and
explode.
Sulfuric acid in the battery can cause serious burns. If spilled
on skin or in the eyes, flush with clean water immediately,
then seek medical attention.
