    Magneto output

    How much of an output should I get to my crankin battery when running if it puts out any?

    Model j150glevc

    serial g04289778

    also Elgin, is there any history on this engine.

    Not Elgin, but your output to the battery should be 35 amps at WOT or no more than 14.8 VDC measuring across the battery posts. The V should be a U indicating 1996. When BRP bought OMC they dumped most of the warranty info from the 90's. You may be lucky but the only info would be from the warranty claims for the year it was under warranty.

    Why do you ask about the output to the cranking battery?

    There were no claims filed during the warranty period.

    Looking at charge while you run systems and looking at connecting to trolling batteries.

    You'll have no problems at all I run a charge on the run on my rig. Here is how it works you'll need to run a wire to the switched B+ on the ignition switch (purple wire) then hook up the two leads to the cranking battery, the other leads go to the two TM batteries. Once the cranking battery gets "topped off" then the current is split and diverted to the TM batteries with no extra draw on the charging system. Works good but you need to make long runs for it to be very effective.
