"should I get a multi purpose deep/cranking battery to run the fish finder and starter and keep the two battery bank for only the troller"
This is exactly how I have mine set up and I have a minn kota 55. I use two 27 size deep cycle batteries running parallel for 12v power, I can run it for 6 hrs at a little over 5.5 speed, with no problem. I don't have any problem with interference on my fish finder while running my main motor on the same battery, do you keep the power wires separate between your main motor and your fish finder? How old is your Starcraft? I've had two older Starcraft with Merc motors and I've never seen that problem as long as you keep the wires separate.
