View the latest post Fuel valves on a '96 Aft Cabin


I am a new member, having purchased a '96 Carver 355 Aft Cabin 3 weeks ago (recently retired after 35 years of chest and cardiac surgery). I'm new to "Big Boating", my only prior experience being a 13' Whaler with a 40 Hp Evenrude.
Learning to drive this thing has been a challenge...
That said, I'm loving the entire experience.

One issue has come up regarding the fuel tanks on my boat. In the buying process, the fuel was turned off to both engines. I topped off both tanks and thought I'd repositioned the fuel valves so that the port engine would be taking fuel from the port tank and so forth for the starboard engine. Now after a couple trips, seems I'm feeding both engines off the starboard tank (starboard at 1/2, port full). Then there's the issue of the "aux" tank, which I know nothing about...
So, how do I set the fuel valves? Do I need to fill the aux tank separately?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Bill Nugent
