    I just bought a new 03 suzuki 4 stroke (9.9) for my sloop.
    she runs nice!~

    I called suzuki to get info on the alternator but could get
    absolutely nothing out
    of them. All I can get is that it is a 6 amp output.

    I just bought 2 new T105's and want to treat them right. Any
    experience out there
    on charging from an outboard? Any concerns or gotchas? Are these
    smart alternators
    that will ramp down to a float?

    I'm installing an 85 watt Kyocera with a 10 amp regulator- so the
    solar panel and the outboard are going to be
    it. I cool with ice so my demands are quite low. approx 20 AH's a
    day. I have about 100 AH useable from a total
    of 220 (two gold carts).

    thanks all.
