Yes, you can hook your 2 battery banks together (+ to +) with alligator clips. I would suggest at least 8 gauge wire. Just remember to remove the jumper if you boon dock.
As previously mentioned, the Ultra Trik-L-Start is a very good option.
Install it and forget it.

The wire in most battery chargers themselves is close to 16 gauge!!! You wont be charging at a high enough rate to require 8 gauge wires,.
Fuse the wire running from PLUS terminal to chassis PLUS terminal in case one of the alligators pops off a post
Your right Sully, but the OP wasn't talking about using a stand alone battery charger. His intentions were to use the on board converter. Thus high amp flow is possible.
