Break-In Procedure

The engine break-in period is essential to allow the various components of the engine to wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. This ensures proper performance and promotes longer component life.

1)Launch the boat and start the engines (see page 3-15).

2)For the first 5 minutes, run the engines at trolling speed. For the 30 minutes of operation after that, keep the engine speed below 5,000 rpm. For the hour of operation after that, keep the engine speed below 8,000 rpm.

3)Proceed with normal operation.
