Solar charging battery?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			You mention that you use the trolling motor sparingly.  If you're not 
deeply discharging the battery a small solar panel should work.   
 
One of the batteries on my boat never gets a deep discharge.  I use a 14 
watt panel with it, and that panel keeps it up just fine.  It was cheap 
at Harbour Freight, about $40, and it's small enough where you don't 
need a regulator.  It measures about 12" x 18".   
 
I tried one of the smaller ones, can't remember the wattage, but it 
measured about 4" x 12", and it was not able to do the job.
