310 FV Fuel tank selector valve

I have a 2003 310 FV and after launching this season noticed the port side gas tank draining faster than the starboard side. It has gotten to the point there is a large list toward the starboard side.  I have a feeling its my fuel tank selector that must have been bumped with winter maintenance. Does anyone have a diagram for these selector valves or know which why they should be facing to drain equally from port/starboard side? Thanks in advance!

    Welcome, see you just joined, best place to learn things.

    Same vessel as mine so should have 3 valves - one each tank/engine and a crossover. Handle aligned with the pipe - it’s open. Various ideas on this but best practice is to leave the cross over closed so each engine pulls from it’s tank. After you fill up of course!

    Yep, I had the same boat with the same issue and once I closed the center valve so that the engines drew from their respective tanks all is well
