battery and jumper cables.
EJU34664Connecting the jumper cables
WARNING
EWJ01251
To avoid battery explosion and serious
damage to the electrical system:
Do not reverse the polarity of the jumper
cables when connecting to the batter-
ies.
Do not connect the negative (–) jumper
cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
watercraft battery.
Do not touch the positive (+) jumper ca-
ble to the negative (–) jumper cable.
(1) Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) battery terminals of both
batteries.
(2) Connect one end of the negative (–) jumper cable to the negative (–) battery
terminal of the booster battery. (3) Connect the other end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to an engine hanger.
(4) Start the engine, and then disconnect the jumper cables by reversing the steps
above. (See page 28 for information on
starting the engine.)
EJU36995Replacing the fuses
If a fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.
To replace a fuse:

(2) Remove the electrical box cover.
(3) Loosen the cap on the electrical box andremove it.
(4) Replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse of the correct amperage by using
the fuse puller on the reverse side of the
cap. WARNING! Do not use fuses of a
different amperage than recommend-
ed. Substitution with a fuse that has
an improper rating can cause exten- sive electrical system damage and
possible fire.

(5) Securely install the cap by tightening it
until it stops.
(6) Securely install the electrical box cover in its original position.

leads.
TIP:
Be careful not to drop the plastic ties into the
engine compartment.
(3) Pull out the bilge pump fuse holder fromthe rubber cover, and then remove the
fuse cover.
(4) Replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse of the correct amperage.
WARNING! Do not use fuses of a dif- ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
