would a 1988 25 HP 2 stroke Johnson w/electric start charge my battery while running like a car? If not how long can i expect my brand new deep cycle battery to last before having to charge it?

thanks!
 
From what I understand if it has factory electric start then it will charge your battery. If someone added the electric start then most likely not. If it is factory then you will always need to have a battery hooked up to it while its running since its sending juice down the cables.
You could probably go a month or more of fishing trips without having to charge your battery but its always best to charge them up when you get home.
 
so is there anyway to actualy tell? my motor has a factory elect start...i have the serial number...could i call johnson?
