There are some additives that supposedly will remove the sulfation on the
plates. It might get you a little more use out of it, and those additives
are cheap. My dad claims they work. I have never tried one. I tend to
replace my batteries long before they get to that point.

My trolling motor battery seems to not have the longevity as it
used
to. It seems like I am only out on the water for a few hours before I
have
to move the speed controller from a 1 to a 2, and so forth. Is there
anything that I can do that will help bring the life back to the
battery?
thanks in advance

You don't say how old the battery is, but it sounds like it's on it's last
legs.

You could try to totally drain it of energy, make certain that the
electrolyte level is full and then recharge it. You might be able to
extend
the life of it some, but start planning on buying a new battery.
