Charging is my next question. Do you use the "Battery Tender" style trickle charger as soon as you get the boat home, or just a regular battery charger as needed?
How often do you have to recharge the cranking battery, and when do you know to recharge?
Trolling motor battery gets recharged after each trip?

A Battery Tender will work, but will take longer(2-5 days) to bring the battery voltage up to full charge. I would recommend a 6 amp charger for your trolling motor and a Battery tender for your starting battery.

Yes, make it a habit to put the charger on after a fishing trip. Because you will never know when you will get to go the next time.
