Hello everyone,
I have a little 15hp tohatsu motor made in 1985. I've looked at the parts manual and noticed that i had a extra piece, which is a plug sort of deal hanging out right by the kill switch for the outboard
I have a battery, but i have yet to hook it up to the outboard for charging (its a pull start).
I want to know if i need a charge controller or regulator or anything special to keep my battery from dying. so far in my research, i've seen these charge controllers for 12v satellite panels, rectifiers, and these voltage regulators on amazon. Do i even need anything special like that, or can i just plug the battery into those 2 wires that come out to the plug?
I plugged a spotlight into those 2 wires im talking about, and it worked, with more brightness power when my rpms were up.
Thanks!
Josh
