Battery

Periodically check the battery restraint system, making

sure the battery is secured.

Check the batteries frequently for signs of corrosion. If

corrosion is evident, clean terminals with a baking soda

and water solution and a wire brush. Before cleaning,

remove the vent caps and seal the vent wells with corks

to prevent the solution from getting inside the battery.

NOTE: Some batteries are sealed and cannot be

filled.

Check the fluid levels in the cells. Usually, a level

approximately 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above the

plates is sufficient. If needed, fill with distilled water.

DO NOT overfill!

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can

cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing

to avoid acid contact with your skin and eyes.

Failure to do so could result in severe injury.

• The battery compartment doors MUST be

secured in the OPEN position for ventilation

when charging any batteries.

• Be sure to inspect your boat for and

eliminate fuel fumes and their cause prior to

connecting a battery charger to your

batteries.
