Default Nothing like the sound of a v-4 Evinrude at 6:30 AM.

But I doubt they were concerned about dong a rebuild on a v-4 evinrude
in the early 70's . Probably ran it till it scattered then called it a
day.





It seems to me it would be exceedingly stupid to deliberately run a
water-cooled engine without water cooling.



Depends on how long you run the engine and what you are doing with it. A 9
second race with 20 seconds warmup and staging, will not burn up the engine.
Especially with a heat asorbing material in the water jackets.
