Dual battery question
 
Have dual setup on my 96 Z255 don't know if factory or original owner put in. I have switch that says 1, 2, off and both. Now boat starts fine on 2 then when I switch to 1 it barely turns over and also when I set to both it barely turns over. Now if battery 1 is low would it barely turn over if switch was on both? What can I look for to check if they are set up right? Also what volts should boat be showing while running? Mines bounces between 12 and 13? Thanks for any input

Ok before it started to rain yesterday I cleaned the connections at the starter so my next cleaning will be at the duel battery switch. You think I should just change all connections with new while I am at it. Also my marine batteries are only 550 cca so i know a friend who owns a battery store and he's letting my try a couple of 1000 cca batts to see if that helps the problem.
