Stalling When Trimming Down?

That battery you linked was a deep cycle battery which is designed for a steady amount of power over a long period of time (i.e. trolling motors). You want a cranking/starting battery which provides a lot of power in a short period of time. Given the last battery lasted over 5 years, your dealer installed a quality battery. If it were me, I would just replace it with a new version of what I had.

Keep the trolling motor battery for sand bar and get a new cranking battery with as elector switch. Much better cocktail party talk.

I like that idea. Also, when you are done at the end of the day, you can turn the switch to off and not worry about draining either battery.
