    Re: Mounting trolling motor on the front of a 14' aluminum V-Hull I was hoping for an alternative. I was doing something similar to this, without boating it on, and it just pulls loose. I really don't want to bolt something to the boat with holes in my hull unless it is a great solution and...

    How can I charge my battery while boating if my tiller is a pull start?

    I have just bought a Yamaha 15MSHB, and it is a 15 hp 2 cycle pull start without a alternator. I wanted an electric start, just so I would have an alternator, but this was hard enough to find. If I want to be able to charge my battery while on the lake, do I have any options? Thanks!
