Hi all,

Is 1972 20 HP Evinrude by default capable of charging battery? If not, is it possible to "mod" it so it charges the battery?

Regards, Evikka.

No, it does not, and no, you cannot. It is a magneto engine with no capability of adding a charge stator. Best bet for light battery charging is to get a solar type that sits on the seat.

I can vouch for the little $30 solar "charger"It only maintains the battery, but I have one that has kept my 5 year old
really tired lawn tractor battery holding up even sitting 3 weeks at a time and through the north east winter.
