Battery charge
I use only a trolling motor. Each time I go out I make sure that I charge it when I get back home even though it is still more than say 1/2 fully charged. The question I have is am I doing harm to the battery by not letting it discharge more before charging it back to full? I am on the water for 4 - 6 hrs 3 or 4 times a week and each time I return home I still have 2/3 or 1/2 charge according to the battery meter I have. Thanks for any info.

Your doing the right thing

^What G said. Charge it as soon as you can every time and every 30 days if you aren't using the boat.

Most chargers now have battery conditioners to ensure you don't have issues like we did in the past. Past chargers would overcharge causing issues that would result in as much as 25% reduction in overall battery storage. Your doing the right thing.
