15hp SeaHorse short shaft.

I have some questions that some of you may be able to answer... in my admitted ignorance of this unit- for the record it's a 1989 model with recoil start only; does it have any source of 12v output? even if it's only a few amps? I'd like the thing to be able to at least trickle charge the the battery for the lights when underway. I do also have the bits to Frankenstein a charging system on top the motor, but I'd like to avoid overcomplicating things if I can help it.

thanks in advance for any help!

If it's a recoil only it won't have the capacity to charge anything...

My advice would be to buy a bigger battery to run your accessories and lights. Running lights (by themselves) draw very little amperage. On a fully charged full size deep cycle battery, you should be able to fish for days w/o recharging. Certainly enough reserves to get you thru 1 evening of fishing.
