Dry Oil filter

Mercury 115 Pro XS, doing end of season oil change, discovered oil filter was dry, no oil going through it. Have contacted my dealer waiting on answers hoping to educate myself a little on what I might be expecting to hear. Is engine shot, does it need to be rebuilt etc. Any info appreciated.
 
If it been running fine with no alarms its OK. If the engine has sat more than a few days without running the oil will drain out of filter but it should have some oil residue in filter....
