Thanks for the ideas. I rarely use the generator. Less than an hour or two a year, probably.

I thought bow thrusters were electric, but I don't have one.

I was thinking more of a leak or bad injector, but a bad injector would run rough and a leak would put fuel into the bilge.

I'd love to have access to fuel flow meters like they use on magazine boat tests. I guess newer boats have them already, along with synchronizers. I demo'd a boat in Tampa a while back that had digital fuel flow meters. Fascinating to see the significant change in fuel use as you played with throttles and trim tabs.
