I like to use 3 separate on/off switches. 1 for each engine. The third switch combines the 2 batteries only when needed to start. I usually use a keyed switch for this because it should only be on to start if the other battery is dead. If you only have 2 batteries you house Hopefully runs off of one battery only.
