looks good frank. How's the boat running? Did you figure out what was wrong?

Looks like less chaos in Fl for the holiday wknd. Man I can't tell ya how insane the launch ramp was here!

I think so. On the Sarasota run the PORT engine burped and went into, shutdown mode.
On the next run, Useppa usland, the PORT engine burped and quit.

I did not find anything definitively wrong, then, I found the insulation mat, under the
cowl, directly above the engine, was very loose, and was missing pieces, directly above
the air horn. I can only assume it had been breaking off, and was going through the
engine. All seems good now.



SW Florida has it's share of chaos. I avoid those spots.

Good to hear frank!
