7 amp battery question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

To run 7" ? Seriously? Try doubling it. 15 amp would be more appropriate . And you are tied into bait tank? SLA don't discharge well. Your battery is shot . Why it is reading 17 volts is not accurate . A 7" would probably consume .75 amp per hour . 15 amp would allow more than enough to run 10 hours with plenty reserve ? Even 12 hours. Also look for a marine battery capable of discharging and charging multiple times.
