1988 20HP Mercury charging question

[dee004]

I have a manual start 1988 20 hp Mercury outboard and I would like to be able to charge my battery. I imagine I require charge coils, a rectifier and am wondering if I require a different flywheel as well if someone could please point me in the right direction. Also if someone would know the part numbers it would be a great help also. Thanks in advance Dee

Welcome aboard.

Need a serial number to find the right part numbers.

A link to the parts diagram - I'm not sure it will help. BTW - The 1st character in the SN is ZERO not OH.

Would you happen to know if the flywheel is the same on the electric start opposes the manual start models minus the ring gear of course? Dee
