Apologies for this late follow up. I discovered that when I opened the fill cap
on the port side, the tanks would *slowly* equalize. I blew out the vents on
both sides, but this did not seem to improve anything. At least I now can get
the water distributed and then shut off a tank when full.
During the recent Defender sale, I noticed they had a special on tank monitor I
had not seen before from LIST. One and three tank systems with outside
detectors. I don’t know anything about them personally, but was tempted (and
resisted- not that hard to monitor by eye for my boat). Dave

My 38 also has a tank under the port and starboard settees. Each of the
tanks has a shutoff valve at the outlet. The two drain hoses meet at a T

Very interesting. I have the same issue except my port tank drains
Thanks for the replies. I looked under the floorboards today for a manifold or
something regulating flow from/to either tank. Plumbing is all tight but only T
connectors, no valve. I opened P/S tubes and both showed positive flow, though
port side seemed slower. I then went to the port tank and

Is there a valve manifold somewhere between the line and the pump?
Have you tried closing the starboard valve or blowing through the port hose to
see what happens
Do the tanks each have vents to air

Should not be hard to troubleshoot if you know where the lines run.
