Hello,

Need help and suggestions on fuel system for my 12' Baja Scat Cat. Plan to use Yamaha 90 outboard which is on heavy side for this boat. Already moved center part of the transom with engine foreword 12", to unload back of the boat. Also plan to keep fuel in 2 fiberglass tanks located in front part of sponsons. Everything to move weight foreword.


Question is how to arrange fuel supply to the tanks? 2 independent fuel fills, one for each tank, or one common with splitter? Also where to place fuel fills on the deck? Where would be the most convenient place to pour the gasoline?

I try to put the fuel tank in the most neutral position so that the only effect it has is the boat getting lighter "overall"...not lighter in the front or rear.
