disconnect the negative battery wires to keep the radio and such from draining your batteries...both of them

I would also consider putting a algaecide prevention conditioner like "BioCon" in your fuel along with some PowerService.Also make sure you run the fuel a bit after adding it so the conditioner is mixed and throughout your fuel system.......Andy
