On a nice day with parallel only discharging to 70% each would be less wear on both compared to one at 40%. But I would guess it would be more like 30% on one. As the battery dies you go from power 3 to say 7... Heat is a waste of power and I bet one battery trying to run at 7 on the troller makes more heat. Also I don't think it is a linear graph for how batteries power depletes its charge but more of an exponentially growing graph . I see no reason not to parallel them, Save you the 2 minutes on the water switching the cables at least. No wing nuts in a boat.
