Would like to run dual batteries. Trolling motor to deep cycle and
every
thin else to starting battery. I have priced an onboard a

Cabelas that will charge both batteries. Is all this necessary?

Should I run large gauge wires from battery to fuse panel in console
and run
all circuits from here??

Thanks

I'd use seperate heavy gauge wires for your trolling motor. I know that
mine said to specifically do so, and stated what gauge to use for a
given length. Use an inline fuse for this. For everything else, seeing
how your load is small, you could use your starting battery. I don't
use an onboard charger for my bass boat, I've had crappy luck with
them, it seems the connectors get corroded too easily. I just charge my
trolling motor battery with a Sears charger.
