Default solar charging of boat battery

Thanks to all you guys..

The battery is an 100 Ah marine deep cycle battery and We are using
the motors for fishing purposes. The boats are sometimes for 2 or 3
hours on one location in full sun in the south of Spain. Even if the
battery would be charged for a 1/4th of the full capacity that would
be great.

Not a bad plan. It just takes a LOT of patience. :-)

Well Eddy, so far none of the replies have been of much encouragement ......
for me either. I was contemplating utilizing a 12 volt marine battery in
my ..... canoe so that when those long stretches of wind in my face
flat-water occurred, I could just get a boost.
Then when the battery got low I figured to use a solar charger to reload the
battery. Looks like a bad plan.
