Hello Chad, Yes that's it, manifold is black with 4 orange valves, two of which service the tanks.
So just to confirm: 1) Parallel to the manifold nothing works, they need to be vertical (perpendicular) with either pointed end or round end determining open and closed? 2) The manifold in my boat is loose so unsure what is up! So how about - Pointed part in the direction of pump for open? and you reverse, as in, round end in the direction of pump to close and switch tanks? or vice versa? It would be great if you can confirm as I am pretty sure that is the issue I am having! Pretty tricky and I note that the manual is generally silent on operations of these thing. Great idea marking the ends, I shall do that btw!

If so, each side of the knobs has either a round part or a pointed part at the end. The orientation is vertically, with the pointed part up for open, or the rounded end for closed. If they're sideways it will not work. I ended up removing mine to get a better look. The difference in the ends is subtle, so I used a marker to mark the pointed ends black.

Very comfortable and loads of fun on the water was our overall appraisal! But we did run into a bit of a snag and I turn to the board for assistance hopefully. The boat has two tanks and we ran out of water on the forward tank pretty much on our last evening so switched over to the second tank but never could get the pump to prime and draw water from the second tank and charge up the lines. Checked all connections and no leaks, plenty of water in the settee tank, checked strainer on the pump all okay. Both tank connect to this distribution gizmo with assorted ball valves that connects to the pump and from there to the galley and head. As the boat is new to me, I suspect I may not be working this gizmo thing correctly, not opening up the correct valves or maybe closing them while thinking I am opening them. I see on the valve handles that one side is pointed while the other side is round, possibly indicating on and off? Anyways, confusion and the fear of running down the batteries to troubleshoot stopped me from tearing this thing apart! I figured I would ask questions before doing exploratory work at the dock! What should I be doing appropriately to switch from tanks or can you run both tanks together, or not? Alternately, the pump seemed to be not priming but I thought it was a self priming pump perhaps I am mistaken in that, so how do you prime a pump would be an alternate question? Thank you all from this newbie that had a hand pump at the galley previously!
