Note: The MV8 engine was designed to work with the standard electronics installed
in the boat. If other electrical components or accessories are added, it may change
the way the fuel injection controls the engine or the overall electrical system func-
tionality. Before adding electrical equipment, consult an authorized ILMOR dealer.
If you do not, your engine may not perform properly.
Add-on equipment may adversely affect the alternator output or overload the electri-
cal system. Any damage caused as a result will not be covered by the warranty.
When charging, batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas. This
gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, ames and smoking well away from the area.
Failure to follow instructions when charging a battery can cause an electrical charge or
even an explosion of the battery. This could result in serious injury or death.
