I have a Mercruiser 4.3 w/MerC

I have a Mercruiser 4.3 w/MerCarb. I understand that when adjusting the carb it would be prefered to be in the water in foward gear. But all the ramps in my area stay fairly busy and folks with stalled boats or parked on the ramp to work on their boats don't recieve much graces from everyone else trying to use the ramps. Would it be ok to adjust it on muffs and just set the idle a little high to compensate for water resistence on the prop and if so what would be so suggestions. Thanks

Set the air mix

Set the air mixture on the muffs and then adjust the idle speed when you are 50 yards away from the ramps.
