Tech Tips

Important “Need-to-Know” Information . . .

• Check Batteries: “Always make sure batteries are fully charged and load tested. Defective and/or inadequate batteries are one of the most common causes of problems in marine electrical systems!”
• Check Connections: “Be sure all connections and terminals are tight and clean. Also, battery cable terminals need to be tight and should have a gap between the top of the terminal and the side of the clamp!”
• Check Wiring: “Remember to always tag wiring when removing any electrical unit. Also, feel the lines for soft spots. Soft spots usually indicate the wire is corroded and needs to be replaced!”
• Check for High Resistance: “Be sure to check for voltage drops. Low voltage will ruin your electrical components and shorten the life of a battery!”
