Fouled plug is a good first guess. Do you do any kind of carbon treatments? Sounds like she's running on 5 cylinders. Back to fouled pug and an easy fix we all hope...

Very true. One thing that deters me from using additives is the angle of my fuel fill doesn't allow you to just pour it right in there. Gotta have a funnel or something due to the angle. I hate that.

Welcome to E-10 fuels, it's a double whammy. Not only do you get reduced milage and power, you also get to deal with more deposits because of the cleaning effect of ethanol. It sounds strange, but ethanol likes to pick up any deposits and redeposit them where you don't want them. STAR-TRON is supposed to have an additve designed just for ethanol blended fuels.

I just read up on the Star Tron product. Sounds pretty good.

Blue Man did you happen to notice the fuel primer bulb when this was happening, some of what you are saying are problems I had with diffrent motors over the years and they traced back to one, fuel bulb, even a new one cause they are all crap now, two, fuel pump on the side of the engine.
If not those and the plug pull does not reveal any issues in one or more cylinders time to run an auxilliary tank.
Also a good run like you had last week in some rough water can combine with the ethanol crap in your gas to dislodge a lot of sheeeet in your tank and lines, check your in line filter and the fuel/water seperator, you are likely to find unidentifiable sheeet in one or both of them.

Well BLUE, your YAMAHA uses the old style OMC carbs(the ones they copied off of OMC back when they first started building them). They do have adjustable idle circuits in them, but the mid and high's are fixed. There are 6 bowl drains you can pull out, and I would reccomend you do this before you take it to somebody. You can look up diagrams and parts here.
