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.
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.
