Battery Box
The battery is mounted inside the observer’s seat storage compartment. Location may vary slightly depending on the model.
NOTICE: It is recommended that the battery cables be disconnected from the battery when the boat is placed in storage.
Avoid damage or injury from battery acid. Ensure that the battery is properly secured before using boat.
Dual Battery Option Hookup
The dual battery option is designed to give you extra battery power to run accessories, but at the same time give you a safety feature not commonly found in a dual battery setup. The Supra Dual battery option features a Voltage Sensitive relay which always monitors the engine starting battery so that your engine will always restart.
We recommend that the selector switch always be set to “1”. In the “1” position, the Voltage Sensitive Relay monitors the engine starting battery, which will ensure that you have a fully charged battery to start your boat. The “House” or “Accessory” battery may become drained during a high discharge cycle since it does not get charged until the Starting battery is fully charged.
In position “1” when the Sensed battery (engine starting battery) reaches 13.7 volts, the relay closes and parallels both batteries. When this happens the LED light on Voltage Sensitive Relay comes on.
In position “2” the sensed battery is the accessory battery. We do not recommend using this position since it can cause the starting battery to drain, which would not allow the engine battery to have enough power to restart your boat.
In position “both”, the batteries are paralleled and in a high discharge cycle, both batteries can become drained, which would not allow the engine battery to have enough power to restart your boat.
NOTE: It is recommended that you fully recharge your batteries using a battery charger periodically or after a session of high discharge (lots of accessories running for an extended period).
NOTE: It is possible with this system for accessories to shut down when the engine is running due to the accessory battery draining down. This is a safety feature. This system monitors the starting battery and will sacrifice the accessory battery so that you are not stranded on the water with a weak starting battery.
NOTE: We highly recommend using high quality
