Don't know if this is day ja voo but I've seen this same post here or on another marine web site
Deleting previous post to make it clearer for those following
12.5V resting means Bats are at 90% power
With starboard motor OFF. What is port Bat voltage at starter prior to starting? What...
Agree one side is higher than the other, and Ill guess your assembly is the newer style that doesn't use the wound washer. Do both sides have the same bushing installed with the knurled edge on bottom?
Many times the heat coming from the bearings is actually coming from the brakes. Might need to replace the brakes, or any of it's parts, won't know until you get into it
Bearing sizes are pretty standard, getting the right ones should be easy
Using shop rags is no issue same as most any other...

I think it's a good idea to use something to connect Gen Bat to Start Bat in case motor Bat will not start the motor. I don't agree to use the Gen Bat as a house Bat extension for added power. A gen Bat is last ditch to help get Motor started, and with that if motor doesn't start, start the Gen...
Agree, sounds like lean condition
Unable to locate your serial number but being a 1996 350 TBI I would have the injectors cleaned and flow tested. Make sure to keep the 2 injectors identified for which side they came from to confirm
They have 87 and 93 on my lake and both are over 5 gal
Maybe it's one of those things that it use to but not now, no idea. There is 5 stations in my small town and only one has E0 and it's listed
