To each his own. When I was a teenager, my daddy bought a 10 hp Scott Atwater and that was our fishing machine. I can't tell you how many times I ran that engine for a few minutes at home, out of the water, with a dry impeller and we had that engine for like 10 years and never had a problem with it, much less cooling when using it.......that was till I was running up the river one day and looked down and saw a railroad piling about 3" beneath the surface which was about a split second before I heard this wham and the mid section split in half.
