Shrew,
Mainship should’a put batteries and other heavy stuff to stbd.
You could run the port fuel tank most all the time and kept the starboard tank full except for long trips. You could have a transfer pump to fill the stbd tank from the port w perhaps an inner-connecting vent. A low volume pump pumping fuel anytime the engine is “on” would keep the stbd side full and a connecting vent hose would keep the excess constantly “draining” to port. But you’d need a shutoff switch for the port side. And ideally you’d have a pump and float switch that would keep the stbd tank full drawing off the port tank. But float switches are known for failure so you’d prolly get fuel all over the place in time.

I kind’a like dream’in things up. But you may have a CL mounted tank in the laz like NT. haha
