  • 1994 Yamaha 70HP - alternator output

    I have a 95 / 70HP Yamaha and will be installing some new electronics. I have the engine service manual, but cannot find the alternator output to understand whether it will sufficiently keep up with the electronics draw and battery recharge. I realize with one battery I need to monitor if at anchor. I carry a 2nd battery (not connected), but am considering wiring the 2nd battery. So, double concerned that it can keep up with two batteries.

    In use (12 volt system):
    Strong DieHard Type 24 Deep Cycle - ~550 CCA

    6 switch 12vdc fused distribution panel
    Pos/Neg bus bar
    Nav light - 8 watt bulb (0.66amp draw @ 12vdc)
    Anchor light - 8 watt bulb (0.66 amp draw @ 12 vdc)
    Bilge - ~1.5amp draw
    Aerator - ~1.5 amp draw

    Instruments bulbs - fuel, voltage and yamaha engine gauges (each has light bulb to tie into cabin light switch

    All loads connected to distribution panel


    To add to above:

    Cabin lights - 2 small Perko LED lights for floor light (12 vdc - amps ???)

    Raymarine C90W - max current 4 amps (32 watts)
    - intend to connect directly to bus bar pos/neg
    Raymarine DSM30 - 0.5 am average (8amp peak - really only if can't find bottom)
    - intend to connect to distribution panel (switched) / neg to bus bar


    Any thoughts?
