Honda 9.9 4 stroke Charging system

[buckboardjr]

Was wondering if anyone has this year class kicker on thier boat in electic start and if you do, does it charge your batterys while trolling?

I have an 80s 7.5hp with a very simple rectifier set up that doesn't put out enough "Volts at idle and slightly above to charge the batts. At WOT it puts out 16.5.

I have a line on the one above but want to make sure it will charge at idle or trolling speeds. I do know the most modern ones in electric start have quite a stator and reg on them.

I have the same Honda 9.9 with pull start on my 21 foot trophy and it does a good job of charging my batteries while trolling. Even running 4 riggers and my electronics and old style auto pilot. Love that little Honda.

used a similar engine on my 24 penn yan...kept the batteries charged very well while trolling...and only burned 1/2 gallon per hour...nice setup...

Thanks Fellas just picked it up for $700. Electric start Long shaft. I verified idle voltage and slightly above idle. Went right up to 13.5V. Will make a nice upgrade to mine.
