BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Break-in period: 10 hours
Break-in operation allows the moving parts to wear-in evenly and thus ensures proper performance and longer
outboard motor service life.
• 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 rpm or 10% to 30% throttle opening.
• Next 60 minutes:
Run the outboard motor up to a maximum of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm or 50% to 80% throttle opening. Short bursts of full
throttle are acceptable but do not operate the 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.
