Fuel Transfer


My boat, 1991 Carver 430 Cummin 6BTA has a breaker on the panel for fuel transfer. I'm told it is likely to move fuel from the stbd tank to the port tank to level the tanks if running the generator. The generator only pulls from the port tank.
I cant seem to get a clear answer on how to use this. On another forum it was suggested the transfer pump will be on the bulkhead behind the generator. Mine is still shrink wrapped so I havent been able to confirm. My question is about the operation. Is it as simple as flipping on the breaker to start the process or are there diverter valves that need to be switched around. Im not asking about using the rear auxillary tank. Just asking specifically about the cross over. Hopefully someone with direct experience can answer this for me. Thank you.
