Won't damage motor. Only run battery down and hour meter up if you have one.

I installed a Perko master switch at my batteries for just this reason. Been there done that 2003 Merc 150 EFI


From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."

Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!
