PP, I've always heard that you will get condensation in your tanks if you do not keep them topped off, I have never kept any tanks topped off and I have never had a condensation problem. What model Sea Ray do you have? If it is not a new boat you may want to siphon out the trash that may have collected over the years and then just operate with lower levels in your main tanks. You can siphon by removing the inspection plate where the float mounts. I usually ran with the tanks at about 1/3 full; that way you are sure that your pickup is covered whether on plane, idle, or nose down coming off plane.

Condensation may be more of a diesel problem, since all my diesel boat owning friends were afraid to death not to keep the tank topped off. If you have water separator filters on your engines, they're going to catch any condensation anyway. I cut back of fuel weight and increased speed and cut gas consumption both. I reduced my weight by about 1800-2000 lbs.
