BREAK-IN
Launch the boat and start the engine according to
the procedures in Engine Starting.
IMPORTANT: Follow this procedure to protect your
new outboard during its initial hours of operation.
Careful break-in allows internal engine components
to seat properly, resulting in maximum engine life
and performance.
Verify water pump operation often. Look for a
steady stream of water from the water pump indica-
tor. If the stream of water stops, shut off the engine
to prevent damage. Find and correct the cause, or
see your Dealer, before you continue.
The break-in period is the first 1 1/2 gallons of fuel.
Verify shift function by shifting into gear and observ-
ing that the boat moves and that the movement is in
the same direction as the shifter. Refer to Shifting
and Speed Control.
Failure to carefully follow the break-in procedures
can result in engine damage.
Perform the break-in procedure with the boat and
engine in the water, using an appropriate propeller.
Change engine RPM often. Avoid holding a throttle
setting longer than 15 minutes.
DO NOT perform break-in using a flushing device.
DO NOT start-up or run the engine out of the water.
DO NOT leave a running engine unattended.
