BATTERY & WIRING INSTALLATION
Advice Regarding Batteries:
Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the battery together. Take care
that no metal object can fall onto the battery and short the terminals. This would
immediately lead to a short and utmost fire danger.
Recommendation:
Use battery boxes and covered battery terminal clamps like Minn Kota accessory
#MK-BC-1.
