Regardless of what the dealer told you, the yamaha manuals clearly state NOT to run the engine on the flushing port. There is the possibility of too little water to th impeller and burning it out.

Not saying it will cause instant death or the world to end... just that yamaha specifically says NOT to do it even though many do and have no issues.
