I am trying to diagnose an oil leak on my ski and ran it for about a minute out of the water and no water hose either. There was some steam coming off of the exhaust manifold. As soon as it started steaming, I shut it down. Is running the ski for a minute without water ok? The exhaust was too hot to touch, but after 5 minutes or so, the manifold could easily be touched.
 
I wouldn’t run it more than 10-15 secs without water. I doubt you hurt anything but just hook up the hose next time, especially if diagnosing something that requires the engine to run.
