The Westerbeke oil pressure reads:
Start up diesel 65 psi
20 minutes operation 30 to 40 psi and drop to 20 psi a few times at 2200 rpm
Throttle back psi go up to 50 to 55 then drops down to the 30 to 40 psi
range
Change oil sender and unit two years ago and no problem for that year.

Nope - not in the owners manual. The 30 amp fuse is fine. And, the fan

It must be a loose connection somewhere in the ACC circuitry. This
will be fun to diagnose, if it ever happens again.

Worn bearings will not make the pressure fluctuate up and down.

If the pressure rises when you decrease RPMs, I would wonder
