Right, it will charge some, but .1 amp per hour doesnt do a whole lot when your trolling motor pulls down between 20 and 40 amps per hour. its going to slow the drain of the batteries, but never keep up.
I looked into getting a panel(s) for my LOW trip this year, so I did a fair amount of research and determined to be effective it wasnt real feasible. You do want to either get one that has a built in controller or a separate one, or you could overcharge the batteries and cause damage.
