Starting battery and deep cycle - charging

i have a 9hp outboard that has electric start and a alternator. it has a motorcycle battery that is dedicated for starting. it is not hooked up to the main panel. it's a nissan 9.8 and i do not believe the output voltage is regulated.

What i would like to do is charge my deep cycle battery while the motor is running.

what is the best way to accomplish this?

could i just wire them together in parallel?

is there a regulator device that completes the circuit when a charging voltage is present?
