I am new to Honda outboards and I just picked up a 45 horse (not sure what year, serial is BF45A). First off, how do I try starting it? I don't know how it hooks up to a battery, there is a cord coming out the bottom with an open plug that looks like it needs an adapter to plug in, is this for the battery? If so, what is it called?
