Installation
All ProSport Battery Chargers are designed to be permanently mounted on-board, and should be mounted
with extruded fins placed horizontally.
Always mount your ProSport in a compartment area that can be properly ventilated during use.
Do NOT mix battery types on-board. All batteries should be of the same age and in good operating condition.
Do NOT make any electrical connections to the ProSport or batteries until the following steps are completed:
10 Easy to follow installation steps:
1. Select a mounting location that allows for free air ventilation with a minimum of 8 inches of clear
unobstructed space around and in front of the battery charger. Open all battery and engine compartments
and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before starting the installation of the charger. Confirm all battery cables
can reach each of the batteries.
Do not install charger on carpeted, upholstered, vinyl, or varnished areas. Be sure to place the ProSport in
an accessible area where all indicators are viewable. Install this unit on a hard surface.
Note: For installations requiring an extension of the DC battery charger cables, please call or visit your
retailer or dealer to purchase ProMariner's 5 foot or 15 foot battery charger DC cable extenders. Our
innovative cable extenders are properly fused and do not require any cutting or stripping of wires. If you have
any problems locating this accessory call ProMariner at +1-800-824-0524.
2. Using the ProSport charger as a template or the enclosed paper template, mark the position of each
mounting hole. Insure the mounting screws will not puncture or protrude into a live well, a fuel or oil tank or
the bottom of the boat.
3. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill pilot holes in the (4) marked locations as described in step 2. Apply a silicon
sealer in each of the mounting locations to waterproof the screw holes.
4. Position the charger over the mounting holes and secure with a power screwdriver by installing 4 stainless
steel # 10 screws. (mounting screws not included).
For aluminum boat installation we recommend installing your ProSport Charger on a wood or fiberglass panel
and not directly on the aluminum hull.
