Charging a battery from an outboard

[@ezio8591]

this guy is the best, the only channel you need for outboards

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Thanks again I was quoted $280 to fit a rectifier to my 8HP Yamaha and after watching your vid I purchased one for $40 and fitted it myself in 5 mins

[@DangarMarine]

Nice work! Glad to hear you managed to save yourself so much money. :)

[@ericonealetorchon4662]

Hi Dangar i have a2005 evinrudr j40rlsoc i want to add an starter but only four wiers come from under fly wheel. How do i conet

[@jimbogasoline2042]

eric onealetorchon It gets expensive. You have to have a different flywheel, starter, and electrical components. If you can find a parts motor for cheap do that. New OEM parts will cost more than the outboard is worth most times

[@kapchailaut6531]

Can u tell where to purchase the rectifier..I'm looking for Yamaha 30hp hmhs engine

[@jordanlittle5391]

a honest well price shop is what you want and that one doesnt seem like its the best option

[@miormedia]

Thank you! I unknowingly bought an outboard without charging capabilaties and thought I had made a big mistake. This saved me much time and headache.

[@brianstrada6565]

I have an 73 9.5 johnson what wires produced your hot AC current

[@hippiehighlander2552]

Just bought a boat with a '94 20hp Yamaha. Green wires are right where you showed them and I'm saving a fortune thanks to this video. Subscribed.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, glad the vid helped you. :)

[@ArnzT100]

Exactly what I've been looking for! I have a pull-start Yamaha 25hp 4-cycle that came without a battery charger so I've been charging the batter via solar panel after every trip. Yesterday on the water, my deep-cycle battery crapped out just at dusk, leaving me a couple miles from the marina on busy Chesapeake Bay without running lights. Made it home safely and today, after looking under the engine cover, I've found the two green wires (plugged) just waiting for R/R installation. Thanks so much for posting your video - it's solid gold! Cheers!

[@DangarMarine]

You're welcome Arnie, glad the video helped you. I don't think I did it in this video but you might also want to add a 10 amp fuse between the battery and the R/R.

[@southo69]

Perfect timing - I was just mentioning a Regulator/Rectifier to a my nephew for his little tinny... Once again Stu to the rescue !!!!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Jason, it is a perfect little upgrade that is easy to do and doesn't cost much.

[@michaelkane2868]

Awesome vid champion, I was quoted $160 plus labour to fit it!!! I bought one for $60 and with your help fitted it in 5min.... Legend!!!!

[@vinnyv6022]

Every time I have a question for my Yamaha outboard, I hope it leads me to this guy. Thanks for your help on this and for the help on changing my impeller! Keep up the good work!

[@DangarMarine]

Glad to help!

[@Fireship1]

Great video Stu! That whole install looked like a factory job when you were done. Didn't know it was this easy to add a charging circuit to an outboard that wasn't equipped with one.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, yeah, it's a pretty simple part install. It's always nice for something to be easier that you think it is going to be for a change! ;)

[@luckydubeinrc5165]

tip : now connect the front socket on the engine back into the +_ 12 line regulated, then when night fishing connect your handy spotlight 12v into that front socket, after done disconnect replace the plastic plug to seal it off again, makes for a good 12v accessory plug. :) my 2.5 hp had no ac coil, so i added one, used bridge rectifier, lm317, 2n3055, and a zener 12v witha adjustable pot, set to 12.9v , whalla...12v on a 2.5hp mariner, at 4 amps :) works like a charm. good video as always Dangar.

[@kylegriffin8085]

Hey, thanks alot for the support. Have a 6hp yamaha on an old aluminum fishing boat, currently restoring it. This is exactly what I needed and ended up saving me over $100!

You're welcome Kyle, glad the vid helped. :)

[@ryananthony6416]

Another excellent video 👍 I used your bilge pump installation video to get my bilge pump installed, now you have an excellent video on powering battery/ accessory from an outboard. I just want to run a nav light for nightime. Hopefully I won't need a battery, I will just try wiring to the accessory wire provided on the converter. Cheers again 👍

[@peteriuliano]

Thanks Stu, love your videos, I’ve learned so much from watching, You explain in a manner that everyone can understand. Wish you would do more of these tutorials again

[@themechanic8195]

great, simple, i can figure this out now- much appreciated from Canada!

[@DangarMarine]

You're welcome!

[@acgolem]

thanks for your videos mate. I had wondered if this was possible but was actually watching your other video about unseizing an outboard when I saw this. you've got a great balance of describing things in detail for novices yet pushing ahead to get to a point. thanks for sharing your tallents and taking the time to make these videos.

[@DangarMarine]

You're welcome mate, glad you are enjoying the videos. :)

[@albazar]

Thanks stu,this helped me out alot.found my motor was wired up wrong when i looked at it.now fully charging the batteries. cheers mate.

You're welcome Alan, glad the video helped you sort your problem out. :)

[@roadking6374]

I know this video is 5 yrs old but its Awsome! I ordered the rectifier and a charge coil. My 1973 has external coils and an empty spot for the charge coil! Going to be nice to charge the battery a bit

[@walter2990]

I know that this is an older video, but just last week I was wondering it this very idea was even possible for my 9.9 hp Mercury outboard. I'm a great outboard mechanic, just not the best at electronics! Now to investigate whether my little "kicker" has the lighning coil installed already, or not. Thanks Stu, I really miss your outboard videos, even though I understand your desire to move forward with your new trawler. Float safe!

[@Boaters_hub]

Did you learn any more on this? I have a 20hp 2 stroke and want to add a charger. Mostly for running lights and electric start. Maybe depth finder.

[@walter2990]

@@Boaters_hub I've looked under the flywheel of my 9.9hp Merc, and I don't believe that mine has the needed part. So I'm out of luck.

[@nicklonsbury3165]

I love your videos so much. You are always the first place I go to for advice, you usually have a video. If not you always reply. Really thanks for these!!

[@nicklonsbury3165]

Also do you know if a 1969 65hp merc and 1972 80hp merc have interchangeable throttle cables? I switched the 80 onto the 65 hp cables and it seems to have a much higher rpm than before. Like the cable is too short and keeping the throttle open, dont really even need the warm up lever. Boat still runs and drives, but is a large clunk when put into gear.

[@DangarMarine]

Hey Nick, I'm not 100% but I would imagine they should be interchangeable. I would measure the travel of the end section from fully retracted to fully extended and see if they are the same, that is the critical measurement.

[@nicklonsbury3165]

I will have to check that measurement tomorrow. I got the cables to fit and I took the boat out fine, but when I shift from forward back to neutral the cable doesn't close fully to the neutral position and the rpms are very high. Then while it is still in high rpms I can move the throttle down with my hand on the engine. So it seems to have the reach, and is a little stuck? I just saw your video on lubricating the cables. Im going to see if i can just apply some if that will help, if not will try what your video suggest. Thanks!!!!

[@philbaily9862]

Hi Dangar Stu love your videos Just added a Bridge Rectifier to my Yamaha 30 Hp nearly identical install as you showed on your video. Point to note I bought a 50 amp Rectifier off Ebay for A$5.00 does the job nicely A fully sealed unit and works perfectly Cheers Phil

[@DangarMarine]

Hey Phil, glad you like the vids. :) Yes, there definitely are some cheap alternatives to the original parts out there.

[@Fireship1]

Dangar Marine used to use Wurth products when I worked on Swiss made monorails. Even though we are in the US they specified only their chemicals were to be used on the trains. We would go through many cans of their Rost off penetrating oil. I loved the smell of that stuff!

You need to do a video installing one of these on an electric start motor and if you have a battery switch where you cut the batteries off or just run battery one car battery to or both batteries if it makes any difference of having that and tell if it will charge both batteries at once or if you have to switch between both batteries.

Change the rectifier and change the coil’s and never got it to charge but just a fraction hire about 12.2. Changed to a gel battery and it jumped to 13.5 V.

You're welcome Ken.

[@blueback21]

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Greg!

[@jackmeyer6763]

Hey Stu, great video. However, best practice is to fuse the positive lead from the battery as close to the battery as possible. Not to protect the battery, but to protect the wire from all of the potential energy stored in the battery. The potential energy in the battery is for more dangerous than the output from the rectifier. If your positive wire we’re to become pinched somewhere under the cowling, the short that could occur could cause problems for you. Just a thought. Love your channel.

[@tylerw1418]

I have a 15hp Mercury. It’s got some wires there. Hoping this works!

[@andrewfalik2504]

Once the battery is fully charged under engine power by the regulator what stops the regulator from sending any more volts to the battery and where does this excess voltage go if not to the battery?

[@DangarMarine]

My understanding is that the regulator sends out around 13.8v to the battery. If the battery it is flat say, 11.5v it will accept a charge but once the battery is at 13.8v there is no potential difference so it stop accepting charge naturally, it isn't something the rectifier does. Smart chargers for the workbench sense the voltage do change the charge rate dynamically but that isn't something an outboard does.

[@greghayes9118]

Thanks for a good clear demonstration of the fitment.😊 I'm not sure why my local dealer changed $120.00 for the unit? I don't think he wants me to buy anymore stuff....

[@HandiMacmundi]

Thank you Thank you!! Will buy you a beer next time I go to Oz

[@GrantWilson-z9s]

Perfect explanation! Why isn’t that plug used though? It would make sense to wire the regulator into the back of that then onto the battery. So it’s an easy disconnect when taking the motor off. I’ve been looking for a plug but doesn’t seem to be one??

[@Erated78]

Im still using an old school 20hp 2-stroke evinrude that does not have an alternator and it sucks. I'm so ready to get a four-stroke for multiple reasons, a charger being one of em'

[@googleplusisdead]

You CAN add the lighting coil to older motors. Extra work/cost but certainly doable if they're not too expensive. Buying used would save a lot. I'd love to add both electric start and charging to my old 15hp Evinrude (it was actually available with either OR both) but since not many came with electric start, even used parts are hard to find at reasonable prices.

[@trapstar1998]

Can you do this setup for a deep cycle battery or more for a startup battery

[@michaelthorpe9560]

Hi mate, I would have used the fused lead from the rectifier to feed the boat's battery, I would have also fitted a second fuse in the battery lead close to the plus side of the battery as well, now call that belt, braces, and string if you like, but any thing that has battery power on it, that may get trapped and cut, will get trapped and cut, and I call that ,, ""sh*t happens!"",, and don't I just know it too!

[@DangarMarine]

For sure, extra fuses would be a great addition.

Top job we have a 1977 mercury blue band 80hp have just replaced all electrical components except the coils fitted a new battery tested output from the rectifier and at high revs its putting out 16volts is this normal p.s when we bought the boat it would do 28mph balanced the carbs then it would do 36mph now with new electrical components it will do 40mph shes an oldy but a goody 150 to 155 psi across all 4 cyls sorry about being so long winded.

[@Sertao2013]

I have 3 other battery's on the boat . 2 are for the trolling motor and the other one is for my fish finder lights and radio. The boat has 150 hp engine . The only battery the engine is charging is the starting battery. Is there a way I can use the engine to charge all the battery's at the same time when the engine is running instead of just the starting battery ? If so how do I wire it up. Do you have a video showing how to do this?

I am confused, you said you only run the earth to the engine block when it has a starter motor, than you ran it that way with a pull start? Sorry, I saw where you grounded and went to the battery as well.

[@boatingsibbingandwandering3262]

Many thanks for this video. I just bought a Yamaha 15hp 2 Stroke and it has a rectifier/Regulator fitted. I have started it up and connected my meter to the Red output on the rectifier and earthed the black on the meter. At Idle I am only getting about 5v DC but as I advance the throttle it advances to about 9v at 20 % throttle. I don't want to run the engine too hard out of the water on Muffs. Is this what I should expect ie do you think I will be getting 13 + volts at full throttle. I have not yet connected my batter and was only testing on the meter

[@chrisstrong7148]

can you do this to a 1984 mercy 2stroke 5hp motor ? Any parts work or something specific ? thanks for your time learning lots from your video's

[@donaldsaunders3059]

Very helpful thank you

[@mrdilligaf1968]

Good video. I have a 18hp Tohatsu that needs a regulator rectifier fitted. Thinking of using a secondhand one from a motorcycle wreckers. I suppose it should work if it has 2 AC wires feeding in and 2 DC wires feeding out along with a earth wire ? Im doing this as theres little to nothing of information about Tohatsu wiring

[@DangarMarine]

I think you'll be fine. Rectifiers are pretty simple and standard circuits. The only thing is making sure they are able to handle the current you are putting through them but a motorcycle reg on an 18HP should be fine.

[@martinlip]

Hey Stu, Great video, Ive recently purchased a boat with a 2011 2 stroke yamaha 30hp and want to charge a battery the same way. Is the reg/rec you used suitable ? if not is there somewhere i can find the right one ? Cheers from Brisbane.

[@patricksegler3376]

Thanks for the video. Question: 1996 Johnson 175 Ocean Pro Looper, I pulled the original stator off and it had lost some goo, but still ohm'd out at 55ohms. Replaced it anyway, with a Rareelectrical brand, which began at 55ohms, but after a few hours of running it, the ignition died. It would only run while continuing to hold ignition switch on to supply power. Ohm'd it out, and it came back at 13 ohms. Replaced with another rareelectrical Stator, verified correct ohms. Few hours of running it, and same issue occurred. Ohm'd the second new stator and it came back at 23 ohms, well below spec. I have seen that a weak battery and bad connections can cause a current issue, but I'm not certain this was the case. I believe my issue may be the addition of a large 10" LCD Sonar, and the addition of a Kicker Marine Stereo and two 8" speakers. Could this be too much current draw on a 35amp rectifier and stator? Could that extra load cause excessive heat and stator failure? The battery did appear to have some loss of power at the times of failure, to the point that after several cranks, the starter had difficulty obtaining sufficient rpm to turnover. The waterpump, thermostats, and temp sensors have all been replaced, and engine temp at the heads is in the 150's to mid 160's after running continuously above 4000 rpm. So I don't believe it is an overheat issue, verified with an IR gun at the heads. Also, new CDI powerpack, OEM coils, OEM wires, CDI optical sensor, correct spark plugs, and a new starter. Basically the entire electrical system is fresh. I have a new CDI Stator and CDI Rectifier to install, but I'd sure hate to see this failure again. My plan is to isolate all the accessories to another battery, and with the install of a smart two bank battery charger, start each trip off with a fully charged battery. Have you come across this issue before? Any help would be much appreciated, and if I'm missing something, I'd sure like to get it corrected before blowing out another Stator. The reason for replacing everything before, was the engine would go into S.L.O.W. with an overheat warning. The temp sensors were faulty and triggering around 180, as well as thermostats that weren't opening up quite soon enough. I found the engine temp actually decreased when running up around 4900-5000 rpms during stress tests. Of course, maybe that is my problem? Running it too hard? Not above 5000rpm. If nothing else, this engine will just have to live in the 4000 range and below if that will avert this Stator disaster. Thanks for any knowledge you may share on this matter.

[@trisailor3318]

If you were motoring along and your battery were to become disconnected (e.g. a BMS disconnect on a lithium battery) how high would the voltage get, in the charging circuit with no load?

[@michaelthorpe9560]

hi mate can you tell me why on my mariner 4hp sailmate outboard it only has a half wave rectifier, that looks the very same thing as you just fitted?,, why only a half wave and not a full bridge rectifier, I ran up my engine and it was putting out just about 14 volts DC but the engine was running very close to flat out,, the AC output was closer to 23 volt's when running at that speed but was well above 15 volt's AC at about 1500 rpm, with a full bridge rectifier even with a slight loss of volt's across it, I bet i could easily get a good battery charge rate out of this engine , and not revving the nut's of it!,, a 600 volt at 25 amp full bridge rectifier can be got of Ebay for about £1,50p ""well over kill that is!"",, but as that half wave rectifier kit that you fitted had no DC voltage control on it at all, and the kit's cost over £45.00p (and that's a cheap kit!) so if your thinking of fitting that kit why not just knock the kit up yourself for penny's? as fitting a full bridge rectifier would give you twice the amp's for charging your battery at a lot less rev's , and you could still get away without a voltage regulator, but its not very wise as you still have about 20 odd volt's DC going into your battery,, and your battery wont be liking that for very long,, (ie: for year's!) and a voltage regulator is so easy to knock up any how, so make one up and fit it in yourself!,, I don't know?? £45+ for a £1.50p rectifier!,, now that's what I call a rip off big time!

Question if it matters about 6 amp or 12 amp charging. I am working on adding a starter to my honda 9.9 outboard and found a used flywheel from one with a starter mine already has a 6 amp charger will i need to upgrade to the 12 amp charging system for this to work? Thank you

I have a 2006 25hp. I followed your steps on installing a rectifier/regulator as you performed on the 20hp Yamaha but my voltage is around 8 bolts at idle and around 50+ bolts at wot. I connected to the 2 green wires as these are the wires from the exciter coils. Not sure if there is something that is missing but your help would be appreciated. (BTW, I did purchase the same rectifier you did, as that is what the engine called for.)

I have a 1991 25hp Mercury 2 cylinder. I am trying to set this up but I don't have a lighting coil. Any advice on what to buy? Can't find what you are calling a lighting coil, and a new stator is not cheap. Thanks
