I witness this all the time and saw it again the other day at the ramp. Guy sitting in his bass boat while it is being backed into the water. Big outboard is tilted up. Boat floats free. Guy fires it up with the intake out of the water. Impressive gurgling exhaust sound then he tilts it down.
Why do they do that? I know it is only for a few seconds, but why run it dry at all? Is this a bass boat thing?
