Except for Hybrid vehicles which are high voltage and really old cars (pre 1950's) which could be 6 or 8 volt.

Will wiring 2 batteries in series hurt your boat?

Depends on the battery size. If your boat is a 12 volt system and you wire two 12 volt batteries in series you then have 24 volts. If the batteries are 6 volt batteries you will be fine. If you have a 12 volt system on your boat and want to use two batteries then wire two 12 volt batteries in parallel. You will still have 12 volts but will have double the amperage available and this will extend the running time of the batteries.
