Answer, yes and yes[
] sort of.
Although the best performance unfortunately will come from the bigger deep cycle.
Good friend here "PA" gave me a couple WERKER batteries WKDC12-33JUS. They are small and light which is what I like on my light weight boat. I found it also works fine on my 10 1/2' pontoon and the 14' Aluminum boat
From personal experience, I have run this battery with a Minn Kota MAXXUM 45, a Minn Kota Endura 45 and a Minn Kota 30.
I have been able to run the motors on 1 or 2 for 5 hours easy. In other words, I quit before the battery.
Another nice thing is they seem to charge up a lot quicker.
Just be sure it is a deep cycle. One that can be charge a lot like wheel chair or Golf Cart.
Of course everyone can vary on this. How much you use the motor, the pull on the motor, etc. All will effect the out come. I also use flippers.
Hope this helps, but always take your oars in case.[
