I think key is that turning the engine slowly(by hand )does not create any exhaust pressure to blow out the water in the exhaust hose. It will pump up water and fill the exhaust hose which will then overflow in through the exhaust valve at the lowest cylinder. Shutting the raw water cock prevents this.
I was new to the process and took a long time..........
I think I had the decompression levers on also (valves open).
