When I was in college, going "home" for a weekend or holdiay, the generator went out on my 52 merc, after dark of course. Nursing it along by going without head lights - just tail lights - where I could (by tailgating an 18-wheeler) and stopping once to get a quick charge at a "service station". Probably close to 300 miles -- 6 hours. Was still running when I got to my folks house.
