accurate speed rating, we give the speed for reference purposes: Boat size, 7.5ft\ Loading, 200 lbs \ Quiet water.
WIRING AND BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS
Battery Type
Recommended battery(s): 12-volt Deep Cycle battery or Marine battery, battery should have at least 50-ampere
hour rating or higher. To extend running time either a larger capacity or an additional battery can be used. See
section on battery connection method.
NOTE: 86lbs model requires a 24-volt battery
Circuit Protection
It is recommended to install a 50 amp manual reset circuit breaker in the electric outboard motor leads within
1.8m (72 Inches) of the battery(s).
Cable Size
If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the product, NEWPORT recommends the use of 13mm
2
wires (6-gauge wire, AWG).
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes and clothing. The battery also produces hydrogen and oxygen gases when being
charged. This potentially explosive mixture escapes through the fill vent cell caps and may
form an explosive atmosphere around the battery for several hours after it has been
charged. Electrical arcing or flames can ignite the gas and cause an explosion, which may
shatter the battery and could cause blindness or other serious injury.
