Battery Installation
MOUNTING BATTERY
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions carefully. Mount
battery securely to the hull in a place free from splashing water.
NOTE: Electric starting outboards must have the battery cables
connected to a battery whenever the engine is running, even if
started manually, as damage to the charging system could result.
