I just purchased a 2007 38 zr. I have looked everywhere and can't find a switch to switch tanks. Do they draw fuel from both tanks or are the connected somehow? Thanks

we have a 2008 model and its one tank as far as I can tell. you can fill it from either side of the boat.
It holds around 650 litres of fuel. Not sure if it is a smaller tank because we also have a holding tank for the toilet.

The early 38zr's were built like the comp with split fuel tanks due to the center stringer and staggered engines. If you have a toggle switch by the fuel gauge to select port or starboard tanks is the easy way to tell.

I have an 05 38ZR with separate tanks for each engine. There is a way you can switch from one to the other with the fuel line valves located on the motorbox bulkhead. I never had a need to do this so I never looked at it very closely. I have a switch on the dash to check the fuel levels in each tank.
