[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 467485, member: 13702"] No - you'll still have to charge it between trips, the gas motor doesn't run long enough to recharge the battery from the drain of graphs & lighting, even though in theory it could. The amount of gas you'd burn just to run your outboard as a generator long enough would not make sense. It's a nice feature that if your battery ever gets low you still have a way of powering your nav lights or bilge in order to get home safe. [/QUOTE]
