Charging the battery -- how long is okay?

I'm in a similar situation.
A 15' open aluminum boat with a 25 hp outboard with electric start.
I also have a MinnKota electric. When I first got the boat, I seemed to
discharge the battery fairly quickly, but the PO warned me that there might
be a nick in the wire that travels to the fish finder/depth gague
transducer.
I slathered liquid electrical tape all over the wire, cleaned & tightened
the connections to the battery and all seems well.
I do recharge the battery after each trip when I get back home.
You should have two batteries, dummy.
