Default 1997 Maxum SCR leaning heavy in front, left side Please help

When i bought the boat it was in tacoma I had to drive it back to Seattle on the water...in the process the engine shut off.....I didn't know what happened.....then I remembered the lever for the other side gas tank....I turned the lever and I t started up.....

So are my tanks separated?
Maybe I got too much gas on 1 side?

But I really notice it leaning more after I wash the boat I had a small hole on upper front left side but after talking to a fiberglass company they said I would have to had mega mega water to go in that hole for it to lean like it does.....

I searched whole inside of boat and can't find any water or anything and so I don't know what to do......PLEASE HELP

Yes the two tanks are separate. Also the generator if you have one only draws gas from one of them. Others with the same model will need to provide more details.

I do have a generator but that takes diesel and doesn't work.....so maybe that side gas tank is too full.....

I just dont know how to manage a boat with 2 separate tanks when to transfer to the other side etc....

I would switch when one tank gets half empty.

Is the boat GAS, or DIESEL?
Where and when did the hole in the oil pan come from?

I’m not familiar with your model so can help with how to perform the gas transfer. Yes have the oil pan replaced now.
