Very inexperienced running motor dry

[devito718]

60 days ago i bought 2015 obv just hit 20hours i did oil change and transmission fluid change.
I made the mistake of running the boat out of the water (30-45 seconds).
Could i have done any damage to motor or boat?
I did use boat for a total of 90 min in the 2 days following with no problems!!!
Bottom line do i have to worry about any long term damage?

That short amount of time should not be an issue. Invest in a fake-a-lake to run the motor when not in the water.

You will be fine with only that amount of time.
I would recommend replacing the impeller at the end of the season.

There should be enough water up in there to keep your impeller from frying. If you didn't see any smoke or hear any squealing it is probably fine. That short of a time won't allow it to overheat either.
