NOTE
Connect the 12 volt accessories to the outboard motor’s battery or to the #2 battery if two batteries
are used for your electric outboard. If they are connected to the #1 battery, galvanic corrosion can
occur and damage the electric outboard.
If your boat is equipped with a 24 volt electric outboard, interference can occur if you connect your
accessories to the same batteries. Interference can also occur if the transducer wire is strapped or
run next to the electric outboard’s battery cable. Make sure your transducer wire is routed away from
the cable and other wires.
If your electric outboard is connected to the battery using a receptacle, make sure all the connections
are tight. If you operate your electric outboard with loose connections, damage to the electric
outboard can result.
Never check your connections by running either of your outboards out of the water.
