1.   I don't recall what size the cables are.    They were the largest 
standard size WM carried already made up.   Since I now know they will 
make up what ever you want, go with the size similar to what is already 
there.

2.  I have a bias against permanently wiring batteries into a parallel 
bank without a switch.   Unless you have a separate starting battery, 
you should easily be able to parallel the two 6 volt banks with the 
standard battery switch, just as you can do now with the standard 
factory 4D installation.   Treat two 6 volt batteries connected in 
series just as you would a single 4D.
