I have a 1961 Johnson 40hp, model RDS-23. Seeing as I seem to be out for extended periods, 5hrs. or more, or more, (and using marine VHF, and a CB, and fishfinder, and occasionally nav lights), I'm considering buying a generator (+/- $180US off eBay), plus belt, plus wiring, etc., OR ... buying some solar panels, etc. The final costs would work out to be a wash, but I'd like to know which direction would be the wiser? I'm sure I can make some sort of a deck up front to which to mount the panels. (or place them on the seats of my open 3 seater 16' Starcraft utility ... or maybe hinging the panels on the front of each has crossed my mind)
After looking at my motor, I'm not sure where the generator might fit... things look kinda tight in there.
Did these ever come with generators factory installed?
All and any suggetions, and advise are greatly appreciated.
Please and thank you.
