I have a starting battery and a deep cylce for trolling motor. The bulge pump, lights, live well pump, fish locater, and engine start on one battery, and only trolling motor on deep cycle...........I thinking thats alot hooked up to one battery. How should it be hooked up to the battteries? Is there a way to charge gthe battery without any electrical outlet on boat?

Yep, it posted fine. I have the exact setup as yours(factory setup), trolling motor is the only thing hooked to the deep cycle... When you're underway you should be charging around 14.4 volts. If you have a good battery and your charging system is working properly you really shouldn't have any issues. The only battery I charge during the season is the deep cycle. I never charge the starting bat. except during the off season..... If your a nite fisherman and the lights are on all the time, I would put those on a deep cycle. Otherwise, a person really only has the depth finder on all day. JMO
