Transmission Remote Control Cable Adjustment
IMPORTANT: Transmissions that utilize remote control cables to change the direction of the propeller rotation, must be
inspected and adjusted by a qualified technician. Failure to inspect and adjust the remote control cable at the prescribed time
listed in the Maintenance Schedule, may cause premature failure to the transmission drive clutch.
Battery
Refer to specific instructions and warnings accompanying your battery. If this information is not available, observe the following
precautions when handling a battery.
Recharging a weak battery in the boat, or using jumper cables and a booster battery to start the engine, can cause serious
injury or product damage from fire or explosion. Remove the battery from the boat and recharge in a ventilated area away
from sparks or flames.
An operating or charging battery produces gas that can ignite and explode, spraying out sulfuric acid, which can cause
severe burns. Ventilate the area around the battery and wear protective equipment when handling or servicing batteries.
Multiple EFI Engine Battery Precautions
Alternators: Alternators are designed to charge the battery that supplies electrical power to the engine that the alternator is
mounted on. When batteries for two different engines are connected, one alternator will supply all of the charging current for
both batteries. Normally, the other engine's alternator will not be required to supply any charging current.
