PRODUCT INFORMATION
WARNING
Keep the battery connections clean, tight, and insu-
lated to prevent their shorting or arcing and causing
an explosion. If the battery mounting system does
not cover the connections, install covers. Check
often to see that connections stay clean and tight.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use wing nuts on battery connec-
tions even if they came with the battery. Wing nuts can
loosen and cause errant warning signals or electrical sys-
tem damage.
Service
Before servicing the battery or the outboard, remove both
battery cables from the battery, battery negative (–) cable
first. Keep metal objects from contacting either battery
post.
IMPORTANT: Service electrical components only while
the outboard is NOT running. Be careful when identifying
positive and negative battery cables and posts.
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is acidic — handle with care. If
electrolyte contacts any part of the body, immedi-
ately flush with water and seek medical attention.
Do not use a booster battery and jumper cables to
start the outboard. Gasoline fumes can cause explo-
sion and fire, resulting in property damage, per-
sonal injury or death.
ACCESSORY BATTERY CONNECTION
An optional accessory battery charge kit is available to al-
low the charging system to charge the cranking and acces-
sory batteries at the same time. See your Dealer to order
and install this kit (P/N 5006253).
IMPORTANT: The accessory battery connection must only
be used to charge a single 12-volt battery or two 12-volt
batteries wired in parallel. The accessory connection must
not be used to charge either battery in a 24-volt system.

WATER PRESSURE
An optional water pressure gauge is recommended to
monitor cooling system pressures. Noticing changes in wa-
ter pressure can help prevent engine overheating. The wa-
ter pressure gauge must be connected at the correct point
to ensure the most accurate pressure readings. Follow the
installation instructions included with the water pressure
gauge.
