[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 72048, member: 55"] My motor doesn't have one. Well, it does, but it hasn't worked since I got the motor, and I haven't felt the need to fix it. It will not provide enough to run a trolling motor, and a standard battery will start your outboard, and run lights, sonars, and aerators all day. Outboards are unlike cars in that they do not use the battery to run on - only to start. All the power for the spark plugs is generated while the motor is running. I wouldn't bother. If you fish tourneys (livewell pump and aerator) or have a lot of accessories that run continuously, get 2 deep cycles. One for the trolling motor only, and one for the outboard and all accessories. If your only accessories are sonars, bilge pumps, and the occasional nav. lights, a cranking battery for the motor and all accessories, along with a deep cycle for the trolling motor is adequate.
