BOAT SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL SYSTEM
Skeeter boats have sophisticated electrical systems to provide service and function to their owner.
Power is supplied from batteries located in the aft rigging compartment directly in front of the engine.
Red positive (+) leads and black negative (-) leads with ring terminals for connecting to batteries
are located in this compartment. There will be three or four heavy gauge wires for the trolling motor
system to connect to the trolling motor batteries. There will be two lighter gauge wires for the boat
supply or “accessory” harness to connect to the engine cranking battery. Some system models are
built to locate trolling motor batteries and wiring under the front deck.
Your Skeeter boat is equipped with an internal fuel system meeting current federal requirements.
The fuel system must be thoroughly inspected and repaired, if necessary, before operating the boat.
Do not operate your boat knowing you have a fuel system problem.
If you suspect your boat has a fuel system problem, contact your Skeeter Dealer.
If your boat has dual fuel tanks, it will be equipped with two fuel ll caps. Fuel is delivered from both
tanks to your outboard motor.
If your boat is equipped with a capped second fuel delivery connector, this is used to supply fuel to a
“kicker motor.”
WARNING
Leaking fuel is a re and explosion hazard. Inspect system regularly. Examine fuel system
for leaks or corrosion at least annually.
Failure to inspect the fuel system could allow fuel leakage to go undetected, becoming a
re or explosion hazard.
