You really should have a manual fuel valve somewhere ahead of the carburetor, so that you can positively shut off the fuel to the carburetor while you're away from the boat. While it's true that a perfect float valve will keep fuel from collecting in the throat of the carburetor indefinitely, all it would take is a "fly-speck" piece of crud to hold the float valve open.

Regards,
