MOUNTING BATTERY
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions carefully. Mount battery in the
boat so it is secured against movement, preferably in a battery box. Make sure
battery is equipped with a nonconductive shield to prevent accidental shorting
of battery terminals.
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.
