MOTOR MOUNTING

 WARNING
Overpowering your boat can be hazardous.
Excessive horsepower will have an adverse
effect on hull safety and may cause operating/
handling difficulties. The boat may also sus-
tain stress and hull damage.
Never install an outboard motor with horse-
power exceeding the manufacturer's recom-
mended maximum horsepower listed on the
boat's "Certification Plate". Contact your
authorized Suzuki marine dealer if you are
unable to locate the hull "Certificate Plate".
Suzuki strongly recommends that you have
your outboard motor, controls and gauges
installed by an authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer. He has the tools, the facilities and the
know-how.
 WARNING
Failure to have your outboard motor and asso-
ciated controls and gauges properly installed
can result in personal injury or damage.
Suzuki strongly recommends that you have
your outboard motor, controls and gauges
installed by your authorized Suzuki marine
dealer. He has the tools, the facilities, and the
know-how to do the job correctly.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

BATTERY REQUIREMENT

Choose a 12 Volt cranking-type lead acid bat-
tery that meets the specifications shown below.
650 Marine Cranking Amps (MCA)/ABYC,
or 512 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)/SAE
or 160 Reserve Capacity (RC) Minutes/SAE
or 12 Volt, 100 AH
NOTE:
• The specifications listed above are the mini-
mum battery rating requirements for starting
the engine.
• Additional electrical loads from the boat will
require larger capacity batteries. Consult
your Suzuki dealer to determine the proper
battery sizing for your boat and engine com-
bination.
• Dual-purpose (Cranking/Deep-cycle) batter-
ies can be used if they meet the minimum
specifications listed above (MCA, CCA, or
RC).
• Do not use a Deep Cycle battery for the main
cranking battery.
• The use of Maintenance-Free, sealed, or Gel-
Cell batteries is not recommended because
they may not be compatible with Suzuki's
charging system.
• When connecting batteries in parallel, they
must be of the same type, capacity, manufac-
turer, and of similar age. When replacement
is necessary, they should be replaced as a
set. Consult your Suzuki dealer for proper
battery installation information.
