Papee,
the reason i have the question about how many amps the stator is putting out?
is because i am looking at what type of lighting to put on the air boat.
and will also be looking at having a small atv winch also. i know the stators can't keep up with the winch, if it is used constantly, and will draw the battery down.
but lighting is a must have issue. lights have changed for the better these last couple of years with the LED light bars, i just don't want to overload the stator.
an other priority is to put a ATV hand warmer on the rudder stick, nothing like keeping the fingers warm.
(they can draw up to 40 watts)
i don' have enough knowledge to convert all the amps to watts and all that fun stuff, but i have put hand warmers on some of my older toys, and everything else suffers.
the reason for a winch, later down the road i plan on having a small removable boom on the boat mounted in the center of the boat, ( i may need to get a bigger boat hull, or at least higher side boards) but they are very usefull to pick items out of the water or marsh to load into the boat. my brother has this set up for loading moose in his boat.( it works quite well when you are sinking waist deep in the marsh, and the side of the air boat chest high.)
i don't plan on picking up a whole moose, at once. but anytime you can save the back, it is worth it. i will have to find a picture of the boom set up and post it later, it might be a usefull idea to someone out there.
so the three items that i am looking at powering, are
lights (must have)
ATV handwarmer on rudder stick (must have)
a winch (down the road)
i hope this helps in seeing why i am asking the question?
