In my Pearson 323, most of the volume of the fuel tank is above the level of the carb. The boat came with a Fuel/Trol electric cutoff valve mounted at the tank. It is wired to the ignition circuit, so as soon as I turn it off, the fuel supply is cut off. This seems like a pretty good solution, as I don't need to remember to do anything extra when securing the boat.
