Charging system question

Scott Blake

New member
I have a Yamaha 150 with a 8 Yamaha kicker. I will be getting a Scotty downrigger soon. First question - Can I use the 8 to charge the batteries? Second - Is there any issues using one battery for this setup? Last - Am I wrong in thinking that if you had a dead battery and wanted to start the 150 by starting the 8 and using it to supply 12 volts to the system?

Thank you for your time

''keep the main battery fully charged and separate''....totally agree with this statement...as to the ''last'' the answer is no...if the battery is all the way flat then the kicker will not turn the big motor...plus i hate to even think of whats goes on when you have two engines running and the charging systems are tied together....
