Your I/O really shouldn't be loud. In the water your exhaust is under water and should muffle the sound. Running on dry land is a different story. Oh, and DO NOT FORGET... your outdrive has a RUBBER impeller for it's water pump circulation. Running the engine on dry land without hooking up a set of water supplying earmuffs to the outdrive WILL completely destroy the impeller in as little as 20 seconds. NEVER run the engine without water being hooked up to the outdrive.
