ACCESSORY BATTERY
CONNECTION
WARNING
An optional accessory battery charge kit is
available to allow the charging system to
charge the cranking and accessory batteries
at the same time. See your Dealer to order
and install this kit (P/N 5006253).
Keep the battery connections clean,
tight, and insulated to prevent their
shorting or arcing and causing an
explosion. If the battery mounting sys-
tem does not cover the connections,
install covers. Check often to see that
connections stay clean and tight.
IMPORTANT: The accessory battery connec-
tion must only be used to charge a single 12-
volt battery or two 12-volt batteries wired in
parallel. The accessory connection must not
be used to charge either battery in a 24-volt
system.
WATER PRESSURE
An optional water pressure gauge is recom-
mended to monitor cooling system pressures.
Noticing changes in water pressure can help
prevent engine overheating. The water pres-
sure gauge must be connected at the correct
point to ensure the most accurate pressure
readings. Follow the installation instructions
included with the water pressure gauge.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use wing nuts on bat-
tery connections even if they came with the
battery. Wing nuts can loosen and cause er-
rant warning signals or electrical system dam-
age.
Service
Before servicing the battery or the outboard,
remove both battery cables from the battery,
battery negative (–) cable first. Keep metal
objects from contacting either battery post.

water and seek medical attention.
Do not use a booster battery and
jumper cables to start the outboard.
Gasoline fumes can cause explosion
and fire, resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
