Inspect the Battery Connections and Hold-Downs
Because poor connections or hold-downs may result in
erroneous voltmeter readings, Aviara recommends doing this
before starting the boat.
Step 1
Ensure the engines are OFF and the engine safety starting
switches disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/shift control
levers are in neutral. Locate the batteries. Batteries are placed in
varying locations, depending on the model.
Step 2
Check that the battery post connections are clean and tight. If
not, loosen and remove the negative terminal connections first.
Step 1
Open the strainer housing (see photo).
Step 2
Remove the filter and inspect for debris, clean the strainer.
Step 3
Remove anything found inside the sea strainer.
Step 4
Return the strainer to the housing and tighten the lid in place.
