The two 22.2V (6S) batteries that supply power to installed electronic equipment (Sonar, 

auxiliary equipment and PC) are installed in the bow of the boat forward of the AutoNav.

To install batteries, remove AutoNav unit, then remove battery hold down straps and place 

batteries in battery tray.

The 22.2V (6S) batteries should be 

oriented with the cords towards the port 

side of the EchoBoat. Reinstall the 

battery hold down straps with the four 

thumb screws.

Plug the two 22.2V (6S) batteries into the 

EchoBoat with the XT90 plugs.

Step 10

If the two 22.2V(6S) batteries are unable to be installed by simply swinging the AutoNav to 

the side, it may be necessary to remove the AutoNav completely.
A) Remove the four thumbscrews on the four corners on the AutoNav 
B) Remove the PORT and STBD power cords to the AutoNav. Remove the USB cable on 

the starboard side. The AutoNav can now be removed to allow the batteries to be installed. 
C) After the batteries have been installed the AutoNav can be reinstalled. Make sure to 

reinstall the USB cable tightening the thumbscrews. Take note that the PORT and STBD 

power cords are male and female keyed. The female cord goes into the PORT side and the 

male cord goes into the STBD side. They can be installed improperly.
