Hello again,
I thought my fuel sender in my aux tank was bad so I ripped out the old one and low and behold it was right on the money 7/8 full. This led me to my question.
I have 2 valves and both say main/off/aux currently both my valves are on MAIN. How do set up the valves to use just the switch on at the helm?
Thanks
 
The switch at the helm only shows the fuel level, it will NOT switch the tanks at the selector valves. To have this done would be very very expensive on a boat your size, you will have to manually switch the valves on or off as you intend to use them. Make sure your valves and the swicth are always on the same tank or you might think you are not burning any fuel but really monitoring the wrong tank. The only setup on this type boat to switch the tank your using are by a valve manually.
 
Peter, on mine, the valves are turned by hand, the switch on the dash only controls the gage. 2 valves, 2 motors. At least how I figure it. Joe.
 
Makes sense now

AH, that explains it. I was running once with the helm switch on AUX and my manual valves were on MAIN. I noticed the fuel was never going down!!!! I will try the manual both on AUX
Thank you
