The four new saddle tanks the PO installed in our boat sit on heavy wood frames that support the tanks above the sloping-down bottom of the boat. The tanks themselves are flat on the top but have bottoms that are slightly sloped inboard. But being up on their frames provides plenty of space and clearance for the gravity feeds. Each saddle tank has a sight gauge but there is only a shutoff valve on each gauge at the bottom, which is not a good idea. There should be shutoff valves both top and bottom.
