[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 251450, member: 7544"] Your stator/magneto produces alternating current (A/C) and your battery produces and needs direct current (D/C) for recharge. A rectifier is the electronic device that converts the A/C output of the motor to D/C so the battery can be recharged by it. If you're trolling with your outboard, that may supply enough voltage/amps to operate the nav lights and FF during trolling, so that there wouldn't be any drain on the battery as long as the motor was running.
