That's how I have mine set up as well. Regular for starting, and deep cycle
for everything else. Seems to work for me.

Could be John. I have two bat. on my 23' marquis, just regular ol'
$29.95 L-cheapo's. one is the cabin bat. one is engine. *through my
own design battery isolator, and unless the engine is running it
seperates both batteries.


running the 500w stereo, the wife's TV and I 've *got 8 headlights
I've rigged on a pole *for night swimming. I've run the cabin bat.
close to flat dead, and it recharges well. *I really don't see any
need for a deep-cycle battery.


Evidently different engineers have different ideas.
I have my own ideas, but they don't listen to me.


Maybe for the better.


---------------------------


I've been seeing more and more batteries that are so-called "combination",
meaning deep cycle/starting.


I always used one deep cycle as the "house" battery and a regular battery
as the "start" battery.
If sitting at the dock or at anchor for an extended period of time with
the engine off, listening to the radio and/or watching the fish finder,
I'd switch over to the deep cycle.
When ready to start up, I'd switch to the "regular" *or "both".


But, it's been a while since I had a boat set up this way. *Things may
have changed over the years.

I think the OP was wondering if it was actually practical to pay the
extra for a deep cycle, or possibly not having deep cycle batteries
readily available.
from my experience, I think the OP would do fine with a couple car
jobs, myself.
