Subject: Running two starting batteries parallel?


I have a 2002 225 Optimax and I am wondering if anyone runs two starting batteries parallel or if anyone knows if this is ok. Could it hurt the alternator or electrical system of the motor?
I don't want to run into problems running one battery down with my electronics and other accessories, but I don't want just a stand alone battery for them. I would like to run two parallel so the system is charged when running the opti. I have friends who have had problems not having enough left in the battery to turn over the opti when fishing long periods at night in one spot.

Does anyone do this?

Thanks
