Battery issue?

[Reelfanatic]

I have a two deep cycle batterys on perko switch. Main and kicker and one rigger on starting battery, fishhawk and one rigger hooked to other battery. The the rigger on cranking battery seems to run out of juice after only a couple times of setting it. To me it seems like they were wired inline correctly. Should I have kicker wired to battery 2 to keep a better charge on it? Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks!

Both motors should be hooked to common on the switch, along with the lead to a fuse block. Everything should be wired to the fuse block, not to the battery. #1 on switch goes to one battery. #2 goes to second battery. Alternate batteries on different days...I never run off of 1&2. That's the best way to wire a two battery set up as far as I know. Works flawlessly on my boat.

The only thing I run directly to a battery is my auto bilge pump. I run that to my #2 battery.

I still haven't installed a battery switch. I run one starting battery directly to engine. And the deep cycle runs everything else including both riggers.
