Shut down or not

[blue oyster]

i shut down every chance i get , one of the reasons i fish is for the peace and quiet and i have a 4 stroke , just rember safty first

[missing link]

I have an I/O so most of the time I shut down, I feel the plugs load up ideling for a while , sometimes after drifting I''ll take her out for a WOT to clean her out. Sometimes I'll get some run on if I get into a fast drift and shutdown maybe I should just leave it running I have a 4.3 merc 190hp alpha1

I'm not sure,
I can't hear my 4 stroke run anyway!!!

unless tight to shore or rocks, or at night, i always shut down. 1 minute or 1 hour drifts.
