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.
