Absolutely not. NEVER even turn over a marine engine without water hooked up and running. The impeller might not fail right then and there, but you will damage it. Even just cranking the motor will ruin the impeller. A flusher literally only costs $7. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MT95R8/
WTF, man? It's made of rubber.

Tbh I would suggest a set of bus bars with some simple screw down connectors. Eventually you will want to connect lights, etc into the system also. Something like http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-DualBus-BusBar/dp/B000K2MABA
I poked around and found this Jabsco marine blower that meets ignition regulations: https://www.amazon.com/Jabsco-35440-0000-Flexmount-Blower-Volts/dp/B000N9QZFC/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=marine%2Bblower%2B250&qid=1573667342&sr=8-2&th=1
Do you think this would be a smart option for my application? Also as far as a power supply goes, what should I look for and would there be any guidelines I should follow for hooking it up?
I appreciate your help!
You can do a combo like this for pretty close to your budget. The boat itself is surprisingly resilient, collapses down to a (heavy) bag for your apartment. Motor mounts on securely. Plan for some occasional vinyl repairs, and you have to deal with a battery and charging, but it'll putt you around until you want to get into something more permanent. I use this as a dinghy for a powerboat and it works great. I added a small solar panel ($75) and converter unit ($15) so it charges the battery when it's parked for a while.
