You can but the deep cycle is designed for long continuous amp drain. The plates are fewer but they are thicker and don't recharge as quickly as the starter battery, which has thinner plates but more of them to allow for quick high amp discharge.

I have, for over two decades! On a Princess 32' most recently!
Has 8 of them. What price Life and Liberty?
You won't bless them, until you are out at sea, and the weaker standard batteries have totally failed you, and you can't even start the generator!

Don't recommend it, but it works. The deep cycle bats are expensive by comparison & you'll shorten their lives significantly, maybe even damage them. You should just get a new starting bat if it's a problem.
