I have a 2002 Yamaha 2 stroke (115). I was having a conversation with my buddy about the charging system and quite frankly, I dont know much about it. I know my boat has a stater. Does that just keep the motor powered, thus the battery is only needed to start it and it runs on its own? Or does it provide charge back to the battery, keeping it charged as well (keeping the battery supplied with eletricity to power other electronics)?
