I was wondering how a boat is stopped when it is coming back into the
shore. Do you just keep it at idle or do you shut it down. I heard
somewhere that you should have a set up so it shuts down by having
something block the carbi intake to shut down the engine. Or would you
set up the carbi so when it is at idle it doesn't get any fuel. Any
help with this would be appreciated.

If you have a digital Tx that has "throttle cut" switch you turn the
engine off with this switch!!
If you have a simple Tx you do these adjustments...
1)with full front trim and close throttle, the engine must be on idle
position(one small hole to the barrel into the carb)
2)with full back trim and close throttle, the engine must turn off(the
barrel full close into the carb)
3)with full front trim and full throttle, the engine must be on full
power(full open the barrel into the carb)
Never cut the fuel which is going to engine...It is overheated!!Cut the
air from carb(close full se barrel to carb by throttle servo(2)!!
Sorry for my English!!

Set up your radio so you can stop the engine using the brake function
found on most wheel radios
