Thanks for the reply Captain George! I did a little more troubleshooting and just updated my post. Looks like my freshwater tank is leaking and must be what flooded my generator compartment. Since I left my pressure pump on a lot of the time we were there it must have slowly dumped the water into the bilge. I have dripless shaft seals, not suffing boxes - can those leak over time?
So to you it sounds like I should in fact be getting the sort of fuel consumption that my floscan is telling me I'm getting then? Well that would be a relief, although it adds some confusion. I was basing my speed off my GPS SOG and was above 20 the whole time, so I should have got there on less than roughly 85 gallons, but apparently burned more than 190. There must be something that I'm misunderstanding or miscalculating.
