BOAT SYSTEMS
8-11
Keep your outboard motor battery separate from your electric outboard battery or batteries. If you operate your
electric outboard from your outboard motor battery, it will discharge the battery and your battery may not have
the required amperage to crank your outboard motor.
Keep the battery connections clean, tight and insulated to prevent shorting or
arching and causing a possible explosion. Install protective covers and check
the connections often to make sure they are clean and tight.
DO NOT charge your batteries in the boat if your boat is not equipped with an
on-board charging system.
Make sure all accessories and outboards are in the OFF position before mak-
ing any battery connections.
