What kind of battery should i run a live well off of? And how would you hook them up to charge from the motor?

I currently have a starting batt. And a deep up front for the troller

The best battery to run it on would be a deep cycle. Deep cycles do not charge well off of the boat motor as it takes too long to get a full charge.

Your starting battery will work just fine for the live well provided it is of sufficient capacity (Amp hours). The engine will keep that battery topped off just fine. The troller needs a deep cycle and will need to be charged immediately after use with a smart charger made for that purpose.
