Battery
Engine and house electrical systems on our boats
have become increasingly more complex and are
reliant on a good source of power. The house source
of power typically comes from a battery bank
comprised of two or three batteries in parallel. The
charging source for the batteries while away from
the dock is the engines; or if equipped a generator a
generator and the generator is on, battery chargers. As
the engines/generator are providing a charge output
to the house bank through the automatic charging
relays (ACRs), keep in mind the following battery
recommendations.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
long term storage of your battery(s).
NOTICE
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
long term storage of your battery(s).
NOTICE
• Disconnect the battery cables (negative
cable first).
• Remove the battery from the boat.
• Clean the terminal ends of the cables and battery
terminals with a solution of baking soda and
water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Apply a coat of grease on the terminal ends of
the cables and the battery terminals.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry area.
Drain the livewell. Ensure that all water is removed
from the drain hose.
Remove the fill hose from the pump in the bilge and
drain the water from the hose. Replace the hose on
the pump and tighten the two clamps.
Livewell/Raw Water System
If the water system will not be used for an extended
amount of time it is recommended that it be drained.
• Energize the freshwater pump switch on the
instrument panel.
• Open all faucets and wash-down
connections. Activate any sprayers connected
to the system.
• Run the system until the freshwater tank is
completely empty.
Freshwater System
Remove battery from boat and store in a cool,
dry location. Periodically check the battery
during storage.
NOTICE
Mixing fresh/new and used/dead batteries
The fresh battery will deliver current into a dead
battery which has high resistance. This results in
excessive heat in the used/dead battery, which can
cause further damage, leakage, or rupture. A used
battery will drain energy from the new one, reducing
the total amount of battery power available.
Mixing battery types
Different battery types are designed for different
purposes. Mixing an AGM battery with a lead acid
battery will not improve performance. This results
in reduced performance, may damage your devices,
or cause battery leakage or rupture.
Mixing battery brands
Different battery brands may not have the same
specifications like marine cranking amps (MCA) or
cold cranking amps (CCA). This results in excessive
heat, which may then cause damage, leakage or
rupture in one of the batteries. We recommend using
the same type of batteries throughout a boat.
• Use a trickle charger to keep the battery
charged or charge the battery every
30-60 days.
Electrical System
• Check all connections and tighten if
necessary.
• Spray all connections with an anti-corrosion
spray.
