[QUOTE="MattR, post: 251335, member: 5120"] A couple of decades ago I had an old Chrysler 7.5hp outboard. It did not come stock with electric start, yet had everything there to hook up a pigtail plug to go to your battery. FuzzyGrub mentioned about charge rate and I can second it. It was fine enough to keep a battery topped off as long as I only used nav lights (night fishing) and the locator. IMO, for the cost to convert your engine to charge a battery with the little output it will give, save your money. Go buy a small solar panel from Harbor Freight or someplace like that and you will be money ahead and get the same results. [/QUOTE]
