I bought Noco for my boat and have no complaints

Does it do well in saltwater conditions??

Minn Kota Digital gets my vote

Yep I have it on a bay boat exclusively used in Saltwater. It is in a hatch and not exposed on the deck.

Noco Gen 5x3 is what I have on my bay boat, and I have a very similar setup to yours. I haven't had any issues with it yet. Easy as can be to hook up and install. Comes with good instruction and I like how the visible the LED indicators are from a distance to let you know when everything is charged up.
If your planning to run the trolling motor hard every day on multi day trips it may be worth stepping up to the NOCO Gen 10x3 as that one is supposed to re-charge fast than the 5x3.
Forst most people that fish a few days a month, I'd think the Gen 5x3 will suit you just fine. If you keep your eyes out you can usually find them for sale on amazon throughout the year as well.

Noco
Same. Mine's been great for the last couple years.
Currently plugged up in my driveway as we speak.

Minn Kota PC. If you ever switch to lithium, you'll be covered.

I have used dual pro for years for boat batteries with great results.
I have a noco for home battery charging which works well also but haven't used it in a boat.

I've had the 3 bank Cabelas brand one on my boat for 7 years now and leave it plugged in 24/7. Fish 25-30ish trips a year split about evenly between salt and fresh water and havent had one issue.

I have to agree with others and say Noco. I used to have all kinds of issues with my old ProSport 12, but I have not had any issues with the Noco GEN5.

I've been through 3 Cabelas brand OBCs and now on Noco for the past year. The noco is a smaller unit. i like it so far,

NOCO is hands down best charger other other than maybe Victron, but Victron would be overkill for this application and is $$$$

Noco for me. Last 4 yrs. No complaints. When these deep cycles die i will go lithium.

Another vote for Noco. I have the 10x3 in a very similar setup as yours. Works great for my needs.

Noco and minnkota are good however they are pricey. Ionic puts "used" chargers in their ebay store, they may be scratched or something, but the one I got was brand new otherwise. I got a 4X15 for $75. They also list some that they have modified for certain uses that might fit your bill.
