I have been using a compression release cable for years on my 3QM30 have not had any water in exhaust, any other issues. I do close my water intake before spinning the engine for anything other than starting. During starting I pull the cable spin the engine for about 5-7 seconds add fuel and push in the cable. Engine starts right up. When changing my oil, I close my water valve, pull cable, with fuel off I crank engine until I have positive oil pressure. I have a remote mounted oil filter (engine has a v-drive, access is horrible) so this works great.
