Hey guys, im kinda new to owning a yamaha outboard i see there are 2 unused prongs under the hood id like to wire up a usb charger and my battery for my fish finder, my question is do i need a special regulator that you can get from yamaha or can i wire the coil right to the battery? Thanks in advance

The coil outputs alternating current. A battery requires direct current.

You are going to need either a rectifier or a rectifier/regulator.
