The cover is part of the tuning. It will make more noise without it, fooling you into thinking you have more power, but in reality it is probably making less power. In extreme situations, it might even cause engine damage. Put the cover on.

Not a good idea. you don't want it sucking anything into the motor and causing damage.

If I'm not mistaken, that cover is also a flame arrestor of sorts so your boat doesn't go BOOOOM!!!

Danny if you run it with the airbox off and with the cowling off, You will lean it out and lock it up!! If you run it without the airbox make sure you have the cowling on.
