I tell newbies who really want to remember it is to put two small

labeled starboard.

Eventually you won't need the stickers anymore.

Heh, you'd think so wouldn't you.

I have put customized red and green labels on my engines and fuel
manifold valves in the engine room because it is just too darned easy
to get your mind turned around down there. When switching filters and
tanks I always stop and look, helps to prevent embarassing
"incidents".

I am similar with my battery hookups. I look at the colors and
markings, and then I feel the positive and negative stamp on the top
of the terminal or battery casing. Of course I do a lot of things like
that by habit, my eyesight is real bad, even with glasses.
