I use a manual 3-way valve to switch between tanks. There are also electric valves.

Do you want all three tanks to draw at the same time or are you planning to use switches?

i really dont want to run all three at the same time, so i guess the best way is to use the manual 3 valve switch between tanks?

You'll really need to run 2 manual 3-way valves. The three way typically has a common port (outlet in our case) and 2 inlets. You'll need one to switch between say the right/left rear tanks, then the outlet of that valve needs to run into the inlet of the second valve, with the other inlet being the front tank. Then you can switch between one of the rears, or the front.

I would'nt even bother with the front tank if you have two side tanks. The front tank is just going to add a bunch of weight to the nose of the boat letting it ride wetter/slower.
Just my thoughts;)
