Batteries and Charging

The recommended battery is a 12 volt deep cycle marine leisure battery. For best results, we recommend and encourage that all

batteries should be charged immediately after each use. Disconnect the outboard from the battery before you start charging.

Use a 12 volt battery charger and connect the positive (+) lead from the charger to the positive (+) post of the battery and the

negative(-) lead to the negative (-) post of the battery. Charge to capacity, slowly and frequently to maintain in good condition.

Electrical connections for 12V battery

WARNING: Be sure that all switches are in the “OFF” position before connection to the battery.

Connect the red battery cable to the positive battery terminal (labelled (+) on the batter).

Connect the black battery cable to the negative batter terminal (-). The battery should always be kept in a well

ventilated location.

Maintenance

• Clean behind propeller after every use. Check for shing line, weeds or other debris. Any debris wrapped around the prop

will cause a loss in power. Lubricate the mount and column every 2 weeks, apply a few drops of light machine oil at

pivotal points.

• Clean electrical connections every month, inspect for loose or corroded terminals and frayed wires.

• Clean terminals with a wire brush and replace any frayed wires.

The recommended oil type and change interval for your outboard motor will vary depending on the make and model of your motor.
