Well, I already ordered the Minn Kota motor, and so now remains the
battery and the charger...

WHAT KIND OF CHARGER?

The link I gave above recommends this type...

Which one though. The second one is recommended for deep cycle.
Thanks!

'Chargers: Most garage and consumer (automotive) type battery chargers
are bulk charge only, and have little (if any) voltage regulation.
They are fine for a quick boost to low batteries, but not to leave on
for long periods. Among the regulated chargers, there are the voltage
regulated ones, such as Iota Engineering and Todd, which keep a
constant regulated voltage on the batteries. If these are set to the
correct voltages for your batteries, they will keep the batteries
charged without damage. These are sometimes called "taper charge" - as
if that is a selling point. What taper charge really means is that as
the battery gets charged up, the voltage goes up, so the amps out of
the charger goes down. They charge OK, but a charger rated at 20 amps
may only be supplying 5 amps when the batteries are 80% charged. To
get around this, Statpower (and maybe others?) have come out with
"smart", or multi-stage chargers. These use a variable voltage to keep
the charging amps much more constant for faster charging.'
