Electrical Box

Electrical box

All carburetor PWC have a sealed metal box which contains the majority of electrical wire connections. There is a rubber seal between the two halves of the box. It is important that the seal be in good condition, and the perimeter bolts be present to maintain the waterproof seal.

Important safety note: Before opening the electrical box remove the heavy Black cable from the negative post of the battery. This prevents short circuit damage from any accidental contact of the metal electrical box to the battery.

Some watercraft have the electrical box positioned on top of the battery and held down with rubber straps. It is critical that the plastic battery cover be in place. If the metal shell of the electrical box contacts the battery posts the resulting short can melt wires or cause an electrical fire. If your plastic battery cover is missing and your electrical box mounts above the battery you must replace the plastic cover.
