Installation
All ProSportHD Battery Chargers are designed to be permanently mounted on-board, and can
be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Always mount your ProSportHD 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, chemistry and
in good operating condition.
Do NOT make any electrical connections to the ProSportHD or batteries until the following
steps are completed:
11 Easy to follow installation steps:
1. Select a mounting location that allows for free air ventilation with a minimum of 6
inches of clear unobstructed space around and in front of the ProSportHD charger.
Open all battery and engine compartments and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before
starting the installation of the ProSportHD charger. Confirm all battery cables can reach
each of the batteries.
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. Do not install charger on carpeted, upholstered, vinyl, or varnished areas. Be sure to place
the ProSportHD in an accessible area where all indicators are viewable. Install this unit on
a hard surface.
3. Using the ProSportHD or the enclosed 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.
4. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill pilot holes in the (4) marked locations as described in step 3.
Apply a silicon sealer in each of the mounting locations to waterproof the screw holes.
5. Position the ProSportHD over the mounting holes and secure with a power screwdriver
by installing 4 stainless steel # 10 screws. (Mounting screws included)
1/8" pilot hole with silicon sealer
IMPORTANT NOTICE
· Maintain an obstruction-free area of
6 inches around the product.
· Prior to mounting, confirm mounting
surface has adequate strength and
thickness.
· Check for electrical or fuel lines on or
behind surface.
· Consult boat manufacturer for suggested
mounting location or procedure.

6. Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning each terminal post with a wire brush until
a shiny surface is obtained.
7. Run cables free from sharp objects and hold each in place with cable ties. Coil excess
cable, do not cut or shorten the length of the cables, as in-line fuses are located 4 inches
from the end of each cable. These fuses protect the charger and output cables in the
event of a short. We recommend the use of wire ties or cable clamps to provide strain
relief for the cables and to reduce the risk of damage to the cables or connections.
8. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on pages 18-24. Make sure the black wires
are connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the red wires are
connected to the positive side of the battery.
Important Note: Your ProSportHD charger will not operate properly if it is not correctly
connected to your batteries. Reminder: Each DC jacketed bank cable must be connected
to a 12V battery. If there are more charger outputs than batteries, then sets of leads can
be doubled on the larger battery in your system. Example: A 3 bank ProSportHD should be
connected to three 12V batteries, but can be connected to as few as two, provided all the
charger leads are connected and the 2 banks are connected to the highest capacity battery.
Select the applicable wiring illustration on pages 18-24.
9. Make sure all DC connections are correct, tight, and free from corrosion.
10. Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your boat at least 21 inches from the
charger, batteries, and fuel fill lines.
11. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ProSportHD charger first.
After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension
cord to a nearby GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Always remove the extension cord from the outlet first when charging is completed,
followed by unplugging the charger. You are now connected and charging your batteries,
and can view the LED indicators.
