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?

Take a look at the "Combiner question" thread on this same sub-forum, it talks about the devices you would want to do what you want to do. Basically a device that keeps your start battery charged and charges your deep cycle battery with whatever is left over.
