The switch is there for a couple of reasons. Primarily it prevents from over reving should you hit a large submerged object at speed and your engine comes up out of the water. Secondly, in case you accidently tilt your engine (solenoid sticks, switch goes bad, etc.), while your running.

Knowing that, if you decided it's worth the risk to remove it then you can and your engine will still run fine. Just don't come back here complaining that you blew up your motor because someone told you to remove the switch.

P.S. These threads are permanent evidence.
