Not without a transfer pump. Some boats have them built in just for this balancing reason when there are not fuel selection valves (my friends Carver has one). In your case since it's a one time anomaly, best thing now is putter over to the fuel dock and plop 125 gallons into the one tank.Have you found a way to balance out your fuel systems with valves? I had done a run on one engine, just after I bought the boat, and realized that it was running off the opposite fuel tank. Now my boat has 175gal in one and 50 in the other and listing hard to one side.
What happened, did you lose one engine or drive that forced you to run on only one?Well that would be perfect however the reason is I came in on one engine with tow assist just to be safe. The rudder on this thing is only 9"x13", no maneuverability around a marina.
I went and got a diesel pump but can't get the hose down into the starboard tank to siphon out fuel. And I can't find way into the tank from the engine room.
THIS is past the point of not fun. Any suggestions?

If your valving is like this then there is no way to move fuel from one tank to the other without swapping fuel lines and running the engines. You should for the benefit of the boat's fuel system keep the fuel tanks full when not using it.Have you found a way to balance out your fuel systems with valves?
