of clear unobstructed space around and in front of the ProSport On-Board Marine
Battery Charger. Open all battery and engine compartments and ventilate for at least
15 minutes before starting the installation of the ProSport Charger.
2. Confirm the selected mounting location allows for a minimum of 8 inches of free space
around front and sides of the ProSport charger. Do not install charger on carpeted , upholstered,
vinyl, or varnished areas. Be sure to place the ProSport in an accessible area where all
indicators are viewable. Confirm all battery cables can reach each of the batteries.
Note: For installations requiring an extension of the DC Battery Charger Cables, please
call or visit your retailer or dealer to purchase ProMariner's 5 foot or 15 foot battery
charger DC cable extenders. Our innovative cable extenders are properly fused and
do not require any cutting or stripping of wires. If you have any problems locating this
accessory call ProMariner at 1-800-824-0524.
3. Using the ProSport as a template, mark the position of each mounting hole.
4. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill pilot holes in the (4) marked locations as described in step 3.
Apply a silicon sealer in each of the mounting locations to waterproof the screw holes.
5. Position the ProSport over the mounting holes and secure with a power screwdriver
by installing 4 stainless steel screws. (mounting screws not included)
6. Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning each terminal post with a wire
brush until a shiny surface is obtained.
7. Run cables free from sharp objects and hold each in place with cable ties. Coil excess
cable, do not cut or shorten the length of the cables, as in-line fuses are located 4
inches from the end of each red (positive) cable. In addition, there are fuses in all but
one of the yellow (negative) leads. These fuses protect the charger and output cables
in the event of a short or reverse polarity.

Installation (Continued)
8. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on pages 10-18. Make sure the (yellow)
wires are connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the red wires
are connected to the positive side of the battery.
Important Note: Your ProSport charger will not operate properly if it is
not connected properly to each Battery. Reminder, The ProSport and
each DC jacketed bank cable must be properly connected to "individual
12V batteries". Number of DC jacketed bank cables equals the number
of batteries that must be individually connected. Example: a 3 bank
ProSport 20 Plus must be connected to 3 individual 12V batteries, as
Illustrated on Pages 10-18. Simply choose the illustration that has the
same number of charger output bank cables as your ProSport Battery
Charger in hand and wire exactly as shown (choose the illustration that
matches your application) for proper charger operation
9. Make sure all DC connections are correct, tight, and free from corrosion.
10. Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your boat at least 21 inches from
the charger, batteries, and fuel fill lines.
11. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ProSport Charger first.
After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord
to a nearby 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Always
remove the extension cord from the 120VAC outlet first when charging is completed,
followed by unplugging the charger.
You are now connected and charging your batteries. View the LED indicators.
Note: During Initial AC Power On: All LED's will illuminate as part of a Display Self Test.
Assuming your batteries are discharged you should observe: Blue AC POWER LED is
turned on, followed by the Red Charge LED and RED Battery Type LED turning on (red
is the factory setting of flooded (Lead-acid)/AGM type batteries).
