NOTE: Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches or other harsh cleaning
chemicals to get on these surfaces. If these chemicals come in contact with your stainless
steel, wash immediately, rinse and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
6.12 Fuel System
If you have a water separator in your fuel system, check the fuel line filter once a month and
change if needed. This filter typically located in the engine well on the starboard side of the
boat.
6.13 Engine Battery
The Cape Fisherman can be setup with a single starting battery, or use the optional dual
battery configuration with a Dual Battery Switch. Proper battery care and maintenance is
extremely important.
They should be secured in a non-metallic tray to avoid electrolyte spills, and battery
terminals should be covered by an insulated boot. Keep terminals clean by scrubbing them
with a stiff brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. Afterwards, apply a light coat of
grease.
Remember, when disconnecting and reconnecting
battery cables that the black cable(s) must be
connected to the negative terminal, and the red
cable(s) must be connected to the positive
terminal of the battery. Reversing the cables will
damage your system.
Flooded Batteries
GEL and AGM batteries are sealed and do not require any additional maintenance. If you
have flooded batteries, check the fluid level in each battery cell at least once a month. Fill
the battery to the upper level with distilled water. Never overfill the battery.
When not in use, check the battery each month by using a battery hydrometer, which
measures the specific gravity. The meter should read between 1250 and 1280.
To prevent personal injury, wear goggles, rubber
gloves and a protective apron when working with a
battery. Battery electrolyte can cause severe eye
damage and burns to the skin. In case of spillage,
wash area with a solution of baking soda and
water.
