Generator fuel draws from which tank ?
I have a 1999 SCR 41, would anyone one happen to know what tank the fuel draws from, Port or Starb ?

Thanks Mike, however the Genny is in the middle of the boat in between the Transmissions and drive shafts.

Have you tried tracing the fuel in from the genny back?
I think boats of this size it is common to have valves that allow it to feed off of either tank.

I would think it would be switched as well.
The Genny pickup should be also be shorter than the engine pickup to prevent the genny from running the tank dry and preventing an engine from starting.
