BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Connect a red cable to the positive (+) terminal first and a black cable to the
negative (–) terminal of the battery. Put a red cap on the positive terminal.
When disconnecting battery cables, be sure to disconnect the black cable first,
and then the red cable.
Required battery rating: 12 V battery with a recommended capacity of 70 AH or
over.
• Battery cables must be long enough to allow free steering.
• Battery cables must be arranged and protected from damage during
steering.
• With poor cable connections, the starter will fail to start.
• Battery cable terminals should be clean, tight, and correctly installed.
Positive to positive and negative to negative.

IMPORTANT: Please follow the instructions below:
• Hydrogen gas is generated when charging a battery. Keep the battery in a
well‑ventilated area during charging. Remove the battery from the boat;
this will protect your hull and interior from damage. Electric sparks,
cigarette smoking, and other sources of fire must be avoided in the
charging area to prevent explosion of the battery.
• The battery fluid (electrolyte) contains sulfuric acid. If electrolyte is spilled
on the skin or clothes, wash with plenty of water and consult a medical
doctor. Always use safety glasses and rubber gloves when handling the
battery.
Propeller Selection
For best all around performance from your outboard/boat combination, select a
propeller that allows the engine to operate in the upper half of the
recommended full throttle RPM range with the boat normally loaded (refer to
General Information ‑ Specifications). This RPM range allows for better
acceleration while maintaining maximum boat speed.
The propeller supplied with your outboard provides the best overall
performance under average operating conditions.
