12 volt batteries

Two depth finders pulling 2,000 watts run all day.

your depth finders aren't pulling 2000 watts. a 2 battery 24volt setup will outlast 2 parralleled.

I run an Eagle Cuda at 800 watts and a Humming bird w/gps at 1200 watts two 40 lb troling motors. both dont run at same time, but at times have. Fishing from dusk to dawn thats quite a draw. One battery cant handle the load so i've tried two with great sucess. I agree the higher the voltage the lighter the load, but i've no need for 24volt.

that's your transducer rating, not power comsumption. 2000 watts @ 12 volts would be more than 160 amps and would melt your wires.
