Not much smoke. I have remote engine controls so I always run the engine with the laz hatch closed. Never choked.
I have a friend with a 1964 Rhodes Seafarer. (Dutch built, before they started building crappy models in the U.S.) Similar size boat that also has a motor well. He's got a Yamaha 6 hp. Always keeps the hatch shut. No problem. Seems to drive the boat fine.
He doesn't pull or flush it during the season either. We don't have shore power where our boats are kept, so this may help avoiding corrosion.
