any special order or method for disconnecting my 3 batteries on my sailfish?

i know to disconnect the black leads first but is there anything else i should know.....i have never done this before.

If the main switches are off it really shouldn't matter which wire you take off first. Normally you take off the neg side first in case you hit grounded metal nothing bad happens but on a boat that's not an issue.

Regardless of which you disconnect first, it is always a good itea to have a few wire ties handy and tie the cables together as you remove them from each and every terminal. You will be glad you did come spring.

reelserious,

Great suggestion, thanks. Thats one of those many things that you say to yourself. "How could I forget how this goes?" Then the time comes..... and it's like trying to remember the combination of your high school gym locker. Fagetaboutit. :?
