Can a battery be charged while an outboard engine is running?
NEVER jump-start a battery while an outboard engine is running. This can cause damage to the rectifier/regulator. Always use a battery charger to charge a battery. If no battery charger is available, the rectifier/regulator’s Red wire may be disconnected while jump-starting to avoid damaging the rectifier/regulator.
