WIRING AND BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS
Battery Type
Recommended battery(s): 12-volt Deep Cycle battery or Marine battery.
To extend running time either a larger capacity or an additional battery
can be used. See section on battery connection method. NOTE: 86lbs
model requires a 24-volt battery.
Circuit Protection
It is recommended to install a manual reset circuit breaker in the electric
outboard motor leads within 1.8m (72 Inches) of the battery(s).
Cable Size
If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the product, Newport Vessels recommends the use of 13mm2 wire (8-gauge wire, AWG).
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes and clothing. The battery also produces
hydrogen and oxygen gases when being charged. This potentially
explosive mixture escapes through the ll vent cell caps and may form
an explosive atmosphere around the battery for several hours after
it has been charged. Electrical arcing or ames can ignite the gas and
cause an explosion, which may shatter the battery and could cause
blindness or other serious injury.
Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before connecting to
battery or batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could ignite
hydrogen gas and cause the battery to explode.
