Correction, I have fillers on both sides. The tanks that came with my MTI allow it to tilt either way. I can be completely empty or filled to the brim with gas as well.
Chads boat and trailer will be one gorgeous setup for sure!

Yes boat has to have fillers up on the high side

You have a unique set up, every one I've seen has had the fillers up.

Sounds pretty cool, can you post some more details? What's done with the vents?

Unique to MTI. I'm not sure how long ago they started doing it (been a while), but all newer MTI's have fill necks on both sides and can be tilted either way. No worries about any other fluids either. Skaters still have both fillers on one side and tilt one way. Both systems work fine.

Yep, was about to say that. Thanks.
Honestly, be nice to have the fills on one side. Easier to fill up!!

I think we have put more miles a year on the tilts than anyone .....with 22 boat shows 3 airshows countless NASCAR and show events , testing...and a racing season our trailers get some milage. We have learned a LOT of lessons with them as you would imagine.. Key components weight distribution across the axles, quality ofl running gear, ride height adjustment , weight across the structure/sub structure. WELDS WELDS WELDS and how stress is transmitted through the trailer to the boat (how much flex in the structure) vs the your clearances. Best of luck.
