Twin Engine, Two Batts, One switch

OSO,
I know theres a lot of different opinions on the one switch/selector setup with 2 motors and 2 batts. However, This its the route that I'm forced to go with. Does anyone have a simple diagram of the hook up for this. Stats are two 302's, To marine batteries, and a single on/off/both/#one/#two selector. Thanks everybody for any help.

Both starter leads to COM, Batt 1 to 1, Batt 2 to 2 is about the only option with one switch.

This is the switch you need. Blue Seas; Dual Circut Plus.

1 switch that works like 2 switches. Turn it on and each of your motors are connected to it's own battery.
Incase of a dead battery, turn the switch to 'combine'.
