first off, you should have starting batteries, not deep cycle, its probably the number one mistake I run into working on boats, deep cycle batteries don't have the cold cranking amps that's needed to start an engine. The reason you use an isolator switch so that both batteries get charged, but you won't run one battery down, you'll allways have one in reserve
