Tying the tanks together wouldn't allow you to isolate one if you had a leak or
something. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

So after some further investigation, all the tanks lead to a 4-way junction
below the floor board access at the bottom of the companionway stairs.
There are no valves or other separations between the three tanks. The 4th
leg of the junction goes to a valve and then to one of the galley sink

Rick,
Thanks for the response. I guess I'm not communicating my setup very
well. I have a standard deck fill dedicated for each tank. Each tank also
has a vent which exits the hull of the boat below the respective deck
fill. I also have an outlet which goes to a 4 valve manifold and then to

As far as I can see, the only problem with not cross connecting the water tanks
would be the resulting complexity of your fresh water system and the need to
get access to all the valves every time you want to change tanks.

On my LF38, all three tanks have their own individual vent as they should. The
vent line follows the inlet hose and exits the hull just below each fill
connection on the deck. The original vent lines are 3/8" gray plastic piping.
A good venting system is necessary to get good flow into and out
