Re: 2-6volt or 1- 12 volt
My boat (2003 28 TE) came with 2 4D on an A-B-Both-Off switch. Battery #1 was showing signs of weakening. I replaced it with 2 6V AGM deep cycles in series. Same price, easier to handle, and more cranking amps.

Re: 2-6volt or 1- 12 volt
I replaced the 4D and 8D with a set of golf cart batteries. (4 6volt batteries in two 12 series banks)
Anchoring out we can't seem to get them below 12.4 after a night of lights and tv going til 10pm and
the fridge running!
I saved the 8D and added a box for it and use it for starting the Cummins.
