BOAT SYSTEMS
Hydraulic Steering
Maintenance of the steering system varies
with usage and climate and should be
inspected by a qualified marine mechanic
at least twice a year or at the first sign the
steering system is not operating normally.
To check the oil level, remove the steering
fluid fill cap. The oil level should be within
1/2 in. (13 mm) of the bottom of the filler
hole. See the manufacturer’s literature for
more information on maintenance.
Battery Charging System (If Equipped)
The battery charging system allows you to charge the batteries without removing the batteries from
the boat. See the manufacturer’s literature for operating instructions.
Make sure all accessories and outboards are in the OFF position when connecting to the power
source and charging the batteries.
Electric Trolling Motor
See the electric trolling motor Operator’s Manual supplied in your owner’s kit for electric trolling motor
operation and maintenance procedures.
Many Skeeter models are pre-wired with an electric trolling motor panel with plug.
