Thanks for the help. This motor is a 1973 and that makes it the first year of the electronic ignition so no points. The motor runs well and starts with 3 pulls or less hot or cold. I have it on a 14x48 flat boat and fully loaded down with two people it cruises at 21 mph. Plenty fast enough in a flat boat.
I wanted to add some kind of charging system so I could run some small running lights and maybe one spot light all of them would be 12V. Several times a year we may go camping and fishing for 2 or 3 days at a time. This does not allow me access to electricity so charging a battery is a problem. I have thought about just putting a very small gas generator (1000W) in the boat to use in a emergency or to charge my trolling motor battery if it goes low. The more I look into this I am finding this may be the cheapest and best option.
The electric start is another issue and I still think I can add it with no problems. I have found 1 of the 2 mounting brackets for the starter in NOS parts bins and the other one can be made easily from some thin aluminum. I have seen the starter come up on eBay before but just was not the right timing for me. I will find one though.
