Breaking in engine

Your new engine requires a period of break-
in to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to
wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help en-
sure proper performance and longer engine
life. NOTICE: Failure to follow the break-in
procedure could result in reduced engine
life or even severe engine damage.

Procedure for pre-mixed models
Run the engine under load (in gear with a
propeller installed) for 10 hours as follows.
(1) First 10 minutes:
Run the engine at the lowest possible
speed. A fast idle in neutral is best.
(2) Next 50 minutes:
Do not exceed half throttle (approxi-
mately 3000 r/min). Vary engine speed
occasionally. If you have an easy-plan-
32
ing boat, accelerate at full throttle onto
plane, then immediately reduce the
throttle to 3000 r/min or less.
(3) Next two hours:
Accelerate at full throttle onto plane,
then reduce engine speed to three-quar-
ter throttle (approximately 4000 r/min).
Vary engine speed occasionally. Run at
full throttle for one minute, then allow
about 10 minutes of operation at three-
quarter throttle or less to let the engine
[ECM00802]
cool.
(4) Remaining seven hours:
Run the engine at any speed. However,
avoid operating at full throttle for more
than 5 minutes at a time.
(5) After the first 10 hours:
Operate the engine normally. Use the
standard premix ratio of gasoline and oil.
For details on mixing fuel and oil, see
page 35.

Getting to know your boat

All boats have unique handling characteris-
tics. Operate cautiously while you learn how
your boat handles under different conditions
and various trim angles (see page 49).
