5. Battery Charging and Lighting
The DC receptacle provides 12V, 60W current for 12V battery charging
and lighting. The circuit is protected by a 5A fuse that is accessible by
removing the engine cover.
An electrical plug for the DC receptacle is supplied with your motor. Wire
your charging or lighting cord to this plug.
mm
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, and
cigarettes away. To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the bat-
tery, connect the charging cords first to the battery, then to the outboard
motor, and disconnect the charging cords first at the outboard motor.
CAUTION:
l
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord. Do
not reverse the charging cords, or serious damage to the outboard
motor’s charging circuit and/or battery may occur.
l
When not in use, cover the DC receptacle with the rubber cover to keep
it dry and clean.
