Battery Installation - Electric Start Models
MOUNTING BATTERY
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions carefully. Mount battery in the boat so it is secured against
movement, preferably in a battery box. Make sure battery is equipped with a nonconductive shield to prevent
accidental shorting of battery terminals.
NOTE: Electric starting outboards must have the battery cables connected to a battery whenever the engine is
running. Even if started manually, as damage to the charging system could result.
