Uneven fuel draw on 2006 Roamer 41 is this normal?

[varnishandwaves]

Hey everyone, I'm a new Roamer owner! I recently bought a 2006 Roamer 41 and just went out for my first real trip last weekend. I noticed something strange during the journey, the port fuel tank dropped significantly, while the starboard tank barely changed after spending about 10 hours on the water.

I've gone thru the boat's paperwork but didn't find any mention of a fuel transfer or balancing system. There aren't any obvious valves or switches around the tanks either, but I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to marine fuel systems.

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this or if it's typical for these boats. Should I be worried, or is this just how they're set up? I'd really appreciate any thoughts

Congrats on your purchase!! What you're seeing with the port tank draining faster could just be how the fuel system is set up, some boats naturally draw more from one side. If theres no transfer system or valves, that might be normal for your model. Though, its still a good idea to have a marine tech check it out just to be safe and rule out any issues.
