This is a newbie question, but on the bowriders with the walk through
windshield, my boat has a label saying to not operate the boat with the
glass opened and snapped down, that it should be closed and secured
first, is this just over caution?

I already know that Steve disagrees with me ), but I have had the
windshield on my MFG I/O slam shut in rough water/wind. No damage
done, but it scared the crap out of me, and could have shattered. If
your snaps are tight, you're probably OK, but weigh the risks.
