Installation & Precautions
Your battery is an important part of your boat. It provides all
the power to start your boat and allows all of your electrical
components (bilge pump, blower, stereo, etc.) to work even
if the motor is not running.
Because of its important role, Supra 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, yet it also has an Amp hour discharge rating
so it can handle low electrical drawdown cycle.
Your Supra electrical system is a negative ground type. The
negative battery cable is grounded to 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.
Dripless Shaft Seal
Your Supra comes standard with a dripless shaft seal. If
any seepage occurs, contact your dealer.
