Batteries--Changing from 2x12v to 2x6v
I'm planning on switching out my two original 12-volt batteries to two 6-volt. My question: Currently with the 12v in parallel, there are 3-4 cables hooked to the positive terminals of each battery. ...

No. If you connect to the + on the "battery #2" battery, you will only get 6V.
When connected in series, the battery voltages add up. All positive connections must be made to "battery #1", and negative connections made to "battery #2" to get 12V.
Many of those cables are redundant, so you should be able to eliminate some. You can eliminate the parallel cables that connect to the other battery, for example.
