BATTERY CONNECTIONS
BATTERY
Honda BF25A and BF30A outboard
motors produce a 12-volt, 6-ampere
battery-charging current and are
equipped for connection to a 12-volt
battery. The battery-charging circuit
is protected by a 15-ampere fuse
located in the engine compartment.
The outboard motor's 12-volt output
is intended for battery charging only.
Lights and electrical accessories for
the boat should be connected to the
battery.
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.
Types With Electric Starter
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 70 Ah.
Types Without Electric Starter
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.
