Default Solar Trickle Charger

Looking for advice on having a solar panel keep my batteries topped
up. I have two group 27 dual purpose batteries on Quint, use the boat
on weekends and occasional trips (working stiff, ya know). The
batteries are connected in parallel with the usual 1-2-both-off
switch. The boat is in the NE and will be on a mooring for the first
time and I want to keep the batteries up with a solar panel. I plan
on a flexible panel on the dodger. Any ideas on size, whether I need
a controller and how to connect it (plug into the cigar lighter with
the switch on both or something more permanent)? Your experiences
would be helpful. Thx
