For complete information, refer to
the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.
To prepare the outboard motor for
connection to a battery, pull the cover
out of the DC receptacle, connect
your battery charging wires to the
receptacle. Attach the connected DC
receptacle on the holder on the tiller
arm.
The receptacle is provided with a
cover, which should be attached
when the plug is removed, in order to
keep the receptacle clean and dry.
The battery should be kept in a
corrosion-resistant battery box that is
securely mounted in a location away
from the fuel tank and protected
from water and direct sunlight.
These types are equipped with
battery cables. The positive (+) cable
has a red band at the battery
connector. The negative (-) cable has
a black band at the battery connector.
For electric starter operation, use a
12-volt battery with an ampere-hour
rating of at least 35 Ah (CCA 270).
These types are equipped with a 12-
volt DC battery-charging receptacle
which can be wired to a 12-volt
battery to power lights and electrical
accessories for the boat.
