It's normal for there to be a noticeable difference in quantity between
the R/L ports while on the muffs. However, there should NOT be just a
trickle from one. While running on the muffs, feel the tops of both
risers and the elbows. If the low flow side is hotter than the other,
there is not enough water flowing in that manifold. If increasing the
water pressure to the muffs doesn't help, you may have a clogged
manifold on that bank, a restriction in the feed pipe, or a failing raw
water pump. You need to resolve the problem, because if the
manifold/riser is clogged, it will burn out the rubber elbows. VERY
unpleasant while underway miles from anywhere.

You are *so* right! [From one who's been there - and spent four hours behind a
