If I may guess, the problem is not fixed yet. Your observation of no fuel in the primary indicated that fuel is not flowing into the filter fast enough. This indicates blockage between tank and filter. In my case it was blocked at the primary filter bracket. Remove and clean the fuel path.

@DougM Engine is not original to boat. Much newer. I inspected lines over weekend. Everything appears normal.
@JoeWhite Perhaps. We did a test under load this weekend - 1 hour X2. Nothing weird, no whining or frequency change. Agree that belt had nothing to do with fuel (if it was fuel).
I will keep monitoring for now.
