Yes I keep the motor running the whole time I am out there. Rockfish structures are usually pretty small. The current/wind will carry the Solo out of position very quickly. I would have to turn the motor on/off all the time. If I am drifting for Halibut, I would definitely turn the engine off. I have been fishing with the motor on for over a year and the motor is still running very well. I flushed the motor, run the gas out and drain the carb after every use. I change the motor oil every three months. Spark plugs and lower unit oil are changed every season.
