Reminds me of my youth on an old Hobie 14.... Wind is a favorite film. Sort of like watching those funny shaped hydroplanes, but without motors.
Dennis We all wish you many years of enjoyment with your new vessel. IMO, the "new" Post has not be very helpful to existing owners, hope they...
VCapt J With due respect, what you are describing is for senior operators. Dennis is new to this boat and having a challenge with the ordinary...
Dennis My 50 gives me the option to transfer fuel from either fore or aft tank. It will be apparent from the helm labeling if yours does as...
Try not to transfer on the run. Anyway. Study those instruction plates at the valves. It seems clear from reading them that, as they are set,...
My humble advice. Continue to fill the forward tank. Run home. Then have someone show you how to use those valves. OR better still, not...

My adjustment valves are located on the bulkhead as I come into the engine room. Two valves, side by side, with a cluster of blue fuel lines...
Dennis There may be another set of valves between your racors and tanks which allows you to adjust which tanks your engines draw fuel from. If I...
