Any battery with at least 300 CCA will start the engine. If you live in a very cold climate then buy a battery that fits with the largest CCA you can find. I would recommend at least 500 CCA.
Mercury wants you to install a battery with at least 525 marine cranking amps if you boat in the summer, and 1000 marine cranking amps for winter boaters.

Usually trolling motors are 12 volts DC. You should find the amperage of the motor. Batteries are rated in amp hours. This means that the capacity of the battery will produce a certain amount of amps for a certain amount of hours. If your battery is 500 amp hours it will use any combination of amps and hours up to 500. If your motor draws 20 amps it will drain the battery in 25 hours or 10 amps it will take 50 hours to drain. By paralleling batteries you increase the draw down time. The amp hour capacities of added batteries are added together. Be sure and purchase a Deep Cycle Battery.
The battery size depends on the size of the engine. The larger the engine size the more cranking amps are required. A small 12.5 HP will only require around 190 amps while a 22HP will require closer to 360 amps.
cranking amps or cold cranking amps Group refers to its physical dimensions.
As long as the battery is the same overall size and the terminals are in the same location, then yes.
