Break-in Procedure
Break-in period: 10 hours
Break-in operation allows the mating surfaces of the moving parts to wear evenly and thus ensures proper performance and longer outboard motor life.
Break-in your new outboard motor as follows.
First 15 minutes:
Run the outboard motor at trolling speed. Use the minimum amount of throttle opening necessary to operate the boat at a safe trolling speed.
Next 45 minutes:
Run the outboard motor up to a maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 min -1
(rpm) or 10% to 30% throttle opening.
Next 60 minutes:
Run the outboard motor up to maximum of 4,000 to 5,000 min -1
(rpm) or 50% to 80% throttle opening. Short bursts of full throttle are acceptable but do not operate the outboard motor continuously at full throttle.
Next 8 hours:
Avoid continuous full throttle operation (100% throttle opening).
Do not run the outboard motor at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time.
For boats that plane easily, bring the boat up on plane then reduce the throttle opening to the specified break-in settings called out above.
