Default No Oil Outboard

I ran my 70HP oil injected outboard without oil for about an hour and a half ...what are the chances that nothing has been damaged?

Dang. I would say the chances are pretty low that you didn't damage anything. The oil alarm didn't go off?

Heck troll...

If it was running when you turned the key off, instead of refilling with new oil, try saltwater.

You never know till you try.

I would say you were looking at another stick beside the dip stick.

What is an oil injected engine anyways? Didn't know they made them. Is is some kinda new engine that only oils the pistons???
