RH. 56 Report post Posted July 25, 2013 i recently aquired a 1985 super 6.5 evinrude outboard and it has a generator equiped on it, it has one of those 3 pronged plug in things, not really sure what to use it for, does anybody else have the same kind of thing on any of their motors and if so, what do you use it for?

Pro fisherman-Stud Muffin 420 Report post Posted July 25, 2013 huh? i think it has stator, for ignition, so that 3 prong may be to run lights on boat. i forget how many coils on a stator equals what for voltage? there is some math nerd formula.it wont be 12vdc, ACOlder boats had ac lights? i remember hearing about this but have since forgotten Quote 2016 Dog Lake Open Champion.

Adrian 132 Report post Posted July 26, 2013 I believe it is 12v AC. It is for running boat lights. Nothing to change on your lights - the bulbs dont care if they are AC or DC. There were a number of older Johnsons and Evinrudes that had 12 v ac plug ins on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
