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?

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.

How often do you have to recharge the cranking battery, and when do you know to recharge?

---

Like I said above, used a Battery Tender for you Starting battery. get yourself a Voltmeter and check you batteries, if there are higher then 12.4 Vdc there are fully charge. If below then charge over night check next day.

Trolling motor battery gets recharged after each trip?

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.
