[QUOTE=davidjor;217002] . . . Could I do that without hurting anything since it has been sitting for so long? QUOTE]
I don't like to ever run the water pump impeller dry, even during a compression check, but that impeller has been sitting so long that it's probably taken a set, so it should be changed anyway before you start using the boat. So crank away, but then change out that water pump afterwards! I'd change the upper gearcase seal below the water pump too while you're in there.
