How safe is it to run an outboard out of the water but connected to a
garden hose with "muffs"? Is the water spitting a safe indicator of
proper cooling?

It's safe, but don't walk into the house and have lunch while it's
happening. Muffs are evil and will slip off when you're not looking. Don't
ask how I know.
