Default port needs more throttle then Starboard on take off?

So the boat has allways had the throttles off by about one click. no biggy.

but this weekend, I was havign to give the port motor 2-3 clicks more than the starboard when taking off. after it leveled out it would go back to only needing the 1 click difference to keep RPM's synced?

any thoughts?

I had a plug fouling that caused this, but it was always off. Perhaps you have one that loads up under acceleration and then clears out when it leans at speed. Eventually you might see that it doesn't clean up and is always off.
