I never close my intakes or any other through hulls when I'm on the boat so
it's much the same thing.
It's true that forgetting to open the intake can toast your engine (or at
least exhaust). While flying, I became comfortable living with lots of
things that, if I forget them, could toast not just my engine but me:)
