General Break-In for 4-Stroke Outboards
(as always, consult your manual)
- Idle for the first 10 minuets,
- then Less than 1/2 throttle until 2 hours,
- then Less than 3/4 throttle until 3 hours,
- then Full throttle for 2 min. of every 10 min. until 10 hours,
- then ok to abuse it.

One of your better pieces of advice GM ... especially the last point!
