Default Battery charging

My new, used boat had a lame starting battery hooked to the trolling motor (I think a junk battery went in where a better one used to live and when the previous owner traded up, he swapped in an old battery).
So I replaced it with a big yellow max deep cell EverStart. The trolling motor battery is not connected in any way to the main battery.
I have been pulling and charging the TM battery after every time out, but haven't been charging my main battery (allowing to be maintained by the motor alternator/charging system) which (knock on wood) seems to be working okay....but just wondering...should I be routinely charging the main battery? Or maybe a better question is what do you do?
