First off this is my first summer using a stand-up. I have a bone stock '08 SJ, and I am getting good at flat water subs on command.
So is it good practice to leave the engine on during a deep sub? Sometimes my speed is too high and it will make me go too deep (so deep, the boat is pointing straight down and I'm hanging on superman style completely submerged). During this underwater maelstrom, I still hang on but I lose my footing. My first reaction is to kill the engine since the boat is completely submerged and I wont be riding it out. Is this a good reaction?
I love subing the boat, but if its hard the equipment I would be much more inclined not to do it.
Thanks for the read and help on this matter.
