Do you shut your engines off during a drift, or leave them idleing. Typically while fluke fishing my drifts are less than 1/2 hr depending on the tide. I came from the school of you start'em at the dock and you shut'em down at the dock, but with the price of gas I am beginning to re-think this and was wondering what everyone else does. BTW my engines are (2) 260hp mercruiser inboards.
