When drifting I'll keep the motor running. When on anchor I will shut the motor off unless there is danger - like if the anchor were to pull I'd get washed into the rocks. Offshore, they say to never shut off the motor no matter what, although I have before.

Yep I shut it down on long drifts in open water. Turn the wheel hard over and drift sideways.
Same for tuna
