Re: running 'in' a new motor HOW?

They mounted a new motor on your boat,and didn't give you a break-in procedure? I'd march right back to the dealer and with bloodshot eyes, ask them if they want to rebuild your engine under warauntee in a few months!<br />Each motor and manufacturer has different oil ratios, oiler setting, runtime ,and other instructions that must be adheared to. Sure,just as in cars, you fiind the maverick boater who rides it hard and puts it away wet, without regard to proper break-in. But unllike 4-strokes, the 2-cycle engine is very unforgiving of this.

OK, well they may give you the owner's manual after the install. But do make sure you get an owners manual with the engine before turning the key.Failure to do so,and adhere to the instructions,will void your warantee.
