NOTE:

1. When wiring, the red lead is recommended to be wired to ACC/ignition power lead.
2. Make sure that the black wire on the wiring harness is connected to a good ground point on the boat. If the chassis of the boat is used as a ground point, make sure that the surface is scraped clean of paint before attaching the wire to it. It is recommended to connect the black ground wire directly to negative terminal (-) of the boat battery.
