Honda 9.9 Alternator?

[carpenterken]

My honda 9.9 (2002 model) has a plug next to the handle that says 12 volts 6 amps? I'm guessing this is a plug to an alternator? If so can I just get a plug to fit it and hook it up to keep my battery charged when using it as a kicker?

You should not need to do that. I believe the alternator will charge your starting battery with the main cables that go to the battery. Sounds like this is a plug to run other electronics from.

My 9.9 dose not have electric start, or any wires going to it.

Well that explains it then. What you are looking at is a 12V plug that you can run a fair bit of things with. 6 amps is enough to keep a battery charged as long as you are not running something like a trolling motor.

it's a feature they put on to charge batteries, had a sail boat that we used the honda, to keep the batteries up, when motoring.

I ordered a plug kit for it today. Thanks.
