I have a '91 200hp Mariner outboard. Is it safe to run my motor on muffs in the driveway? Is there a specific time period that I should keep it under?

Yes its safe. As far as time goes, usually anytime between 8 AM and 6 PM. <br /><br />Seriously, as long as its drinking water its OK.<br /><br />Good luck!

It is not safe to rev the engine beyond about 1500rpm, RBF. Not in gear or out of gear.<br /><br />Otherwise, as DHadley says, as long as the water lasts and the neighbors don't call the cops.

i would get a flushing muffler, just to help keep back pressure up & noise down.<br />they really do make that much difference.
