I have a 2011 2274 Bennington with a Evinrude E-Tec. My partner likes to tow her grand kids around on a float while turning tight turns sometimes in choppy water. While doing this she sometimes changes the pitch of the motor. I think she lowers the pitch it in response to some cavortation in the chop and waves. I don't know why she raises the pitch. This is done in deep water. Is this apt to damage the engine? My concern is that raising the pitch might increase the chance of the engine sucking in air rather than water for cooling and that that could be hazardous to the engine.
Knowledgeable opinions are very appreciated.
