On my Mainship, this would be a definite 'yes'. I think the boat would tear itself to death in no time at all.




Another question.....Would I have to warm up the engine a little longer than normal before putting it into gear because of the added torque or is it going to be not than noticeable at idle speed? What I'm saying is that sometimes an engine will stall out when put in gear if still cold.
