When more than one outboard motor
is mounted on a boat, connect a
battery to each respective outboard
motors.
• Be sure to connect the (+) side
battery cable first. When
disconnecting the cables,
disconnect the (–) side first then
the (+) side.
• Unless the cables are properly
connected to the terminals, the
starter motor may fail to operate
normally.

• Be careful to avoid connecting
the battery in reverse polarity, as
this will damage the
battery-charging system in the
outboard motor.
• Do not disconnect the battery
cables while the engine is
running. Disconnecting the
cables while the engine is
running, will damage the
outboard motor's electrical
system.
• Do not place the fuel tank near
the battery.
