during its initial hours of operation. Careful break-in
allows internal engine components to “seat” proper-
ly, resulting in maximum engine performance.

warm-up can result in engine damage.

With easy planing boats, use full throttle to quickly
accelerate boat onto plane. Immediately reduce

BE SURE boat remains on plane at this throttle set-
ting.
Third hour of operation — Run the engine in
gear at various speeds up to 4000 RPM or 3/4 throt-
tle only.
Balance of first 10 hours of operation — Run
the engine in gear at various engine speeds includ-
ing full throttle, but remain at full throttle no longer
than 5 minutes.
Change the engine speed every 15 minutes.

RPM. Refer to Engine Specifications.
IMPORTANT: Before the start-up of your new en-
gine:
•
Read Engine Starting, Engine Stopping and
Speed Control.
•
Check the crankcase oil level. Refer to Crank-
case Oil and Filter.
•
•
Perform prelaunch checks of all equipment.
Check the gearcase lubricant level. Refer to Lu-
brication.
Launch the boat and start the engine according to
the procedures in Engine Starting.
•
Verify water pump operation often. Look for a
steady stream of water from the water pump indi-
cator. If the stream of water stops, shut off the en-
gine to prevent damage. Find and correct the
cause, or see your DEALER before you continue.
Verify shift function by shifting into gear and ob-
serving that the boat moves and that the move-
ment is in the same direction as the shifter.
Change the RPM often. Avoid holding a throttle
setting longer than 15 minutes.
