Help with diagnosis

I have a 99 Yamaha Exciter with twin 135HP motors. Launched the boat, it ran good for a couple days, then the starboard motor started cutting out, after I was on plane & running, at about 2500RPM's. It would start right back up.

I went on the Yamaha forum & searched for that problem. They said it's either the fuel filter or the plugs. Pulled the fuel filters, they are clear & looked clean. So changed the plugs on both motors, they were over due to be changed. Took the boat out for a test ride, the port motor bogs down bad, the starboard motor cut off at about 1000 RPM's, when I was just taking off. Strange, both motors ran before changing the plugs, well, except for the one cutting out. Now I can't even get on plane.

Went to see Mike at Jetcraft, he's backed up 2 weeks. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?? Or anyone else I could call?? I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Happy Birthday threecrabs!

Happy Birthday young lady! I hope you have a smashing day! That's figuratively speaking, not literally! Have a good one!

Fire on Harsens Island

There's a fire on the island! The whole sky over there is orange! It's a little late for a comtrolled burn. Wonder what's going on? Matt, is the scanner saying anything?

Nino's salad

Don't really know the name of this salad, I have been buying it at Nino Salvaggio's for 8.99 a pound, so I decided to save some money & make my own. Very tasty!

1 can of artichoke hearts, rinsed & chopped
1 can heart of palm, rinsed & chopped
1 jar pitted kalamata olives, rinsed
1 container grape tomatoes, rinsed
1 cup fresh grated Romano cheese
green onions, chopped (I skip this, not a fan)

I chop the artichose hearts & heart of palm about the same size as the olives & grape tomatoes. Mix all ingredients in a bowl & add about 1/2 cup of light viniagrette, then chill. I make my own dressing, whisk together evoo, lemon juice & honey or sugar.

Flavors are great when blended. Something different, nice dish to pass instead of the same old, same old.
