Does the motor on my 78 Johnson 70hp charge the battery?
Im asking b/c I want to install a radio, depthfinder, and trolling motor to my boat. I have two large marine batts. One is currently hooked to the starter,lights,bildge,horn (horn doesnt work, any ideas? everything is connected).
my question: should i hook both batts together (does that change the voltage,both 12V) or should I leave them seperate (i can run the radio/trolling motor dead and the boat will still start w/ all legal needs)
any advice is great!
thanks guys, to all those who have helped me! gimme 10yrs and maybe I can answers some ?s instead of asking
