backup battery

My 190Bay is already rigged for a trolling battery. I have no need for a trolling motor but would like to add a back up battery. Would hooking a cranking battery where the trolling battery is supposed to go:

a. Work as a backup for starting with out any modifications
b. Work as a backup if i add a battery switch
c. Work as a backup only if I disconnect it and move it to the rear when primary battery dies.
d. Be a waste of time
e. Make my boat go BOOM

Thanks for the help,
Paul

#C & Jumper cables

Paul
I just put an extra battery in the back after moving the standard battery aside. Then I put one of those monster marine switches between them. 'On', 'Battery 1', 'Battery 2', 'Both' are my options with the switch.

If you choose selection "C" and move the battery to the rear for an emergency start, you may want to purchase a set of jumper cables and store them in the boat. I have a set I got at Wally World. I think they are 8 guage and 20 feet long in a case. I've learned the hard way about dead batteries. ;>(
