While on a FB boat owners page I saw that someone posted that you shouldn't start your boat while still hooked up to shore power. Of course this started the usual going back and forth on should you or not. So I'm going to ask it here, is it alright to start up your engines while still hooked up to shore power? I always do it to get the engine warmed up while I'm getting ready to leave the slip. And I also do it when I don't plan on taking the boat out, but want to start it up for a few minutes just to let her run.
