Dick, did you ever verify/fix this "problem"?

[quote="squidslayer"]My twin 150hp Hondas on my new Tomcat 255 use different amounts of fuel
ie
160 miles all open ocean
Starboard Honda 150 used 42 gallons
Port " " " used 38 gallons

they only have 100hrs
is it normal for one side to use more fuel than the other all the time??? everyting seems ok....otherwise
is this an excessive difference???

How was the fuel measured?

by fuel flow meters or adding gas to tanks?

Is there a parallax issue when viewing the tachometers causing the starboard engine to rev a little more?
On my 22 I have to put my head against the cabin side to get an accurate reading on the starboard tach.
