Jim Wentworth used to rig a lot of boats with a "loop-charging" system where the outboard charges the deep cycles. It could only be done with a 12V deep cycle system, 24V or 36V you were SOL. I believe this is still the case, but could be wrong.

I used to have the loop charging system that wentworth put in for me. BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. When they can do this with 24V or 36V so we can use the bigger trolling motors, I will be first in line to get it. When all the motors used to be 12V more guys had these. Battery life was incredible, waaaaaay way way longer than even with an onboard plug-in style charger. Best thing was, my trolling motor was always fully charged and ready to go. Just take a quick loop around a small bay and it was charged right back up. It was amazing. If you have a 12V trolling motor I would highly recommend the loop-charging system. If it's 24V or 36V, the only way you can really go is the on-board charger.
