My boat was launched this weekend. Once in the water, I started it up and went to pay the hauler. When I was going back to the boat I noticed no water coming out of my port exhaust and started noticing some smoke. Temp hit around 160 and I shut it down right away. I checked the strainer and it was dry. I then put a bucket of water in the strainr and it primed the impeller fine. I then proceeded to my slip around 20 minutes away at 5-7 knots. Temp was fine all the way and exhaust was pumping like normal. Not too sure if I damaged the impeller or if i caught it in time. Basically it ran for around 5 minutes dry. I have a 2002 340 with 8.1S wich have the guardian system but no alarms went on. Any info, advice, thoughts or even precautionary actions I should take at this point would be appreciated.
Thank you
