BREAK-IN (10 HOURS)
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-

cause, or see your Dealer before you continue.
IMPORTANT:  4-Stroke  outboards  are  shipped
without oil in the crankcase. You must add oil to
the crankcase before starting the engine for the
