I have a 1993 Johnson 25hp J25RETS. The prior owner must have installed an electric start kit because it's both rope and electric start. It however does not have the 0174037 BATTERY CHARGE KIT, which cost around $100.
The kit's charging rate is 4 amps, not much in my opinion. Is it worth it to go through the expense and time to install this kit or should I just use a battery charger I already have? Keep in mind that I have a second battery on board for the electric motor, and the only electrical devices are the running lights, a temperature gauge, and a bilge pump that is only needed in big rain.
