I am new to better boats so I am still learning. 

I have two batteries in my boat.  I have fish finder, gps, bilge, live well, lights, trolling motor, ect.  Does my motor have a magneto that will charge my batteries on the run???  If I go fishing for a week and I am unable to plug my boat in I will surely kill my batteries...correct?

Short answers ~

 

Yes your motor will charge your Cranking Battery; but it may not be sufficient in the long run, unless you run a long way - all the time. 

                       

And yes if you run your electronics, you'll most likely run your cranking battery down. 

And if you run your trolling motor most of the time without the benefit of another recharging source, you'll most likely toast that power source as well.

Outboard Motors are not routinely rigged to recharge trolling motor batteries. 

 

Your cranking battery starts your motor and powers everything except the trolling motor.

  Trolling motors are routinely rigged separately to the other battery(ies).

And there is your answer.

Is there no way at all to get 110v near where you are going. Hotel, lodge, house or maybe a Wally World. Generator ?

I was going to say a small honda generator or solar panel.. they have really come a long way
