Can I start Volvo w/o water?

AQ171A engine. It has antifreeze. I was thinking to remove impeller. Can I start it for 10 sec. at least?

Without the impeller, yes. I wouldn't push it past 20 sec.

Just remember that raw water still cools your exhaust system.

Even though the Motor won't be Over-Heating,......
The Rubber Parts in the Exhaust System will Still be turning to Dust as you run the motor Without Water Flow............
