First, starting the engine and running it briefly with no cooling water isn't going to let the engine get warm enough to damage it. Any decent surveyor surveying a boat on the hard will do that. Second, if you need to run it longer get a bucket of cold water and stick the cooling water intake in the bucket. I do it every year when changing the oil after hauling. Certainly true. I just don't know of a boat owner who would allow someone to do it. There's always a risk of overheating/damage. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
