20-Hour Break-In Period
IMPORTANT: The first 20 hours of operation is the engine break-in period. Correct break-in is essential
to obtain minimum oil consumption and maximum engine performance. During this break-in period, the
following rules must be observed:
•
Do not operate below 1500 RPM for extended periods of time for first 10 hours. Shift into gear as soon as possi-
ble after starting and advance throttle above 1500 RPM if conditions permit safe operation.
•
Do not operate at one speed consistently for extended periods.
•
Do not exceed 3/4 throttle during first 10 hours. During next 10 hours, occasional operation at full throttle is per-
missible (5 minutes at a time maximum).
•
Avoid full throttle acceleration from IDLE speed.
•
Do not operate at full throttle until engine reaches normal operating temperature.
•
Frequently check crankcase oil level. Add oil if needed. It is normal for oil consumption to be high during break-in
period.
•
After 20-hour break-in period, drain crankcase oil and replace oil filter (see MAINTENANCE). Fill crankcase with
correct oil (see SPECIFICATIONS).

After Break-In Period
To help extend the life of your MerCruiser power package, the following recommendations should be considered;
•
Use a propeller that allows the engine to operate at or near the top of the maximum RPM range (See “Specifica-
tions” section) when at full throttle with a normal boat load.
•
Operation at 3/4 throttle setting or lower is recommended. Refrain from prolonged operation at maximum (full
throttle) RPM.
