I have twin inboard engines, two batteries and an Off-1-Both-2 switch. What is the preferred hook up? Thanks in advance.

Re: 2 Engines, 2 Batteries, best hook up

Get a second battery switch exactly like the one you have and hook things up so each engine can use either battery (or both) for starting. This arrangement gives you maximum flexibility. Add an isolator to prevent one battery from discharging the other if they're both switched to the same circuit for an extended period.
