Flywheel / stator charging question.

I need a new flywheel and it got me thinking about something.
Yamaha doesnt have a low amp flywheel like you Merc guys do. Its my understanding that the flywheel/stator is basically a generator. The generator uses power from the engine to create amperage. A lower amp system uses less power robbed from the engine.

My boat has almost no electronics. I have the engine, trim, and fuel pump.

If my flywheel had, for example, 12 magnets and I could remove 3 of them evenly to maintain balance, could I create a lower amp system?

I know brendan power changed magnets to increase output and actually ended up with too much output at the RPM they aimed for. Thats what I got out of it when I was there and he had a flywheel he wanted to try on a 40 amp system. He had a tool to measure the strength of the magnets also. Might be worth giving him a call

E-tecs also use a much different magnet and every other magnet has opposite polarity of the one next to it. THe little ones seem stronger then the old carb motors 10x their size.
