The raw water pump does not like to run dry that long. There is no way to
tell if yours was fried, but it would be likely that it sustained some
damage, like the impeller ends getting melted. It can still pump, even if
damaged but in my mind it would be suspect. If it has been a couple of years
since you replaced the impeller, then as routine maintence ( and peace of
mind) you may consider having the impeller replaced before next trip. A raw
pump failure can cost you big.

I agree with Ron.

I don't think the engine will be hurt much, but just in case it did
get hotter than it should have, change the oil, do a quickie
compression test, change the impeller and give it a try.

I don't think it will be toast.

Take care.
