If the boat battery runs down, the
engines can be started in an emergen-
cy using a 12-volt battery and jumper
cables.
To connect the jumper cables:
1) Connect the positive (+) terminal of
the dead battery to the positive ter-
minal (+)of the booster battery with
the positive jumper cable.
2) Connect one end of the negative
(–) jumper cable to the negative (–)
terminal of the booster battery.
3) Connect the other end of the nega-
tive (–) cable to an engine hanger on
either side of the engine oil tank.
Be sure all connections are secure
and correct before attempting to start
the engine. Any wrong connection
may damage the electrical system.
4) Start the engine, then disconnect
the cables by reversing the above
steps.
Do not turn the starter motor for more
than 5 seconds. If the engine does
not start in 5 seconds, release the
starter switch and try again after 15
seconds. Continuous cranking for
more than 5 seconds will discharge
the battery and the engine will not
start. The starter motor may also be
damaged if it is engaged continu-
ously for more than five seconds.
