Because the water pump on an outboard engine consist, in part, of a rubber impeller, dry running causes almost instant damage. In as little as 30 seconds the impeller can become unservicable. A run with no water for one minute or longer, in plastic housing applications, begins housing melt down and powerhead/seal damage. It is not good practice to run your outboard without water.
