Anyone use a solar trickle charger? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For those long days on the water with the FF and bait pump running. Hoping to keep the juice up longer to use the nav/deck lights into the eve if necessary.

Its a pain to swap batteries on the water with my setup.

Found this one I could strap on the crate or bait tank and wire into the system, but no idea what kind of wattage would be good for this application. This is a 1.8 Watt. They get bigger as the wattage increases.

Thoughts or suggestions? I'm not too savy with electrical crap.

Thanks.
