We used a t-post with a 2x4 attached, then hooked a trolling motor to that, and hung a marine battery via strong cable to the t-post. Covered it with burlap. It worked like a charm.

Here is the first incarnation. It's a bit sturdier now.

^^^^ this was born out of necessity, and the top pic is right after it was first turned on. Second pic is after about 30 minutes with a little ice moving effort. I'm not the man with the plan, but I know a guy.

Yes. It's suspended by a cable that is attached to the t-post, and the trolling motor has alligator clips for quick removal.
