Hi Robin,<br />I think that AC lighting means that it will produce enough AC power to run your bow and stern lights, but it isn't rectified to DC to charge your batteries. Rope start means just that; you have to pull on the starter rope to get it started. With that in mind you don't need a battery anyway.<br />Hope this helps

GAS= gasoline? i that case, no, is not the gasoline connection, that one is in front or behind, depending where you are looking for. The gas connection is of tipe OMC one litle thing with a hole and one longer where you locked the conection.<br />The other one on the side that I don't know what is for is made for a "female" plug connection on a triangular shape and it has a rubber lock to protect it from water i guess...what can this be?
