EJU34641Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the en-
gine can be started using a 12-volt booster
battery and jumper cables.
EJU34663Connecting the jumper cables
WARNING
EWJ01250
To avoid battery explosion and serious
damage to the electrical system:
●Do not reverse the polarity of the jumper
cables when connecting to the batteries.
●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 27 for information on
starting the engine.)
EJU41880Replacing the fuses
If a fuse is blown, replace it with the proper

(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 dif- ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensive electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
[EWJ00802]
(5) Securely install the cap by tightening it
until it stops.
