1975 Evinrude 6hp Charging?

[Saltnz]

Hello, I know this seems a silly question, but is it possible to add a charging kit to a 1975 Evinrude 6HP model#6504? I believe there are charging options for these later in the 70s. I love my 6hp, my Yacht has an outboard well and this was the original engine, tried others, but nothing works as well as the old 6hp Evinrude. I am a bit sick off hauling out my battery for charging.

You can for the range that started in the mid eighties but not for these older ones as far as i can see.
The amount of charging I get from my '84 model is pretty small as it is only effective at higher revs and being an auxiliary on a sailing boat it does not normally run for long enough either.

I fitted a small (5watt) solar panel and have not had to take the battery home for charging since. If I had the space i would have fitted a 10 watt one though
