1993 Johnson 60 hp charging system?

[Wrif101]

Hello all,

I have a 93 Johnson 60hp Outboard, 3 cylinders, 2 cycle.
My Question is does this model have a charging system?
If so where would I find it? I don?t think it would be an ?alternator?

The Issue and/or Concern:
At low trolling speeds it voltage reads around 10v
At higher rpm?s /full throttle it will read 12v (think?? trying to recall)

Is this normal?
I have to charge it after a day on the lake, because the one battery runs everything; motor starting,
Tilt, trim, bilge, live well, lights, gps, sonar, and a couple other accessories

Thanks Craig

After charging the battery, leave all the accessories off and put a volt meter across the battery. Take it out and run the heck out of it and see if the voltage climbs to around 13.5 to 14.5 volts. If not you have a charging system prob or to much running off of one battery.
