I recently purchased a 25 hp Big Foot 4 stroke outboard. It is a pull start tiller motor so there is no battery. I'd like to run nav lights and a few other 12v accessories off the engine's generated dc power. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Put a alternator kit and battery on it, if you only had lights a lighting kit would work.

If you'll just be powering nav/anchor lights and a few accessories why not just get a small deep cycle battery and call it good? Seems like that would be cheapest and easiest, and DC batteries have a way of coming in handy.

Or, you could use an inexpensive booster pack. Most come with a 12V outlet.
