I have a 1999 Honda 8hp 4 stroke on my sailboat. It puts out 5amps of charging power. I have put together the cable that will connect the motor to my battery for recharging. Before putting it on I wondered it I might run a chance of overcharging my battery.<br /><br />We don't use our boat lights much so there isn't much drain on the battery. We use the motor to leave and enter the dock area so it is used maybe 15-20 minutes each trip 2-3 times a week, at low rpm.<br /><br />Am I OK to make the connection or do I need some sort of device to prevent an overcharge? Any advice is much appreciated.
