BOAT SYSTEMS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Skeeter boats have sophisticated electrical systems to provide service and function to their owner. Power is
supplied from batteries located in the aft rigging compartment directly in front of the engine. Red positive (+)
leads and black negative (-) leads with ring terminals for connecting to batteries are located in this compartment.
There will be three or four heavy gauge wires for the trolling motor system to connect to the trolling motor
batteries. There will be two lighter gauge wires for the boat supply or “accessory” harness to connect to the
engine cranking battery. Some system models are built to locate trolling motor batteries and wiring under the
front deck.
FUEL SYSTEM
Your Skeeter boat is equipped with an internal fuel system meeting current federal requirements.
The fuel system must be thoroughly inspected and repaired, if necessary, before operating the boat. Do not
operate your boat knowing you have a fuel system problem.
If you suspect your boat has a fuel system problem, contact your Skeeter Dealer.
