Break In Procedure for 4-Stroke Outboards-All Horse Power
Your new engine requires a period of 10 hours break in so that mating surfaces of moving parts wear in evenly. Operate the engine in the water (in gear with a propeller installed) for 10 hours as follows. When breaking in the engine, avoid extended idling, rough water and crowded areas.
(4-Stroke) | 1st Hour | 2nd Hour | 3rd to 10th Hour | After 10th Hour | 20 Engine Hours |
Throttle Position | Varying speeds | Increasing speeds | Operate at any speed | No throttle restrictions | Change engine oil |
Max. RPMs | Up to but not exceeding 2000 RPM Approx. ½ Throttle. Avoid idling for extended periods of time. | Only enough speed to get the boat on plane and then only enough to keep boat on plane. Avoid full throttle. | Avoid full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time. | Operate engine normally. | Subsequent oil changes annually or every 100 hours. |
Change engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation. After break in, change engine oil every year or every 100 engine hours.
Use the manufacturer’s brand 4 cycle oil only.
WDI recommends using a fuel stabilizer such as Evinrude 2+4 fuel conditioner every time you fuel up.
Bad gas is the cause of some of the most expensive repairs we see in our service shop. SeaFoam is a good cleaner but it is not a fuel stabilizer and it will NOT make fuel last longer.
Enjoy your new engine. An engine being used is a happy engine. Engines that go unused for long periods of time tend to have more problems.
WDI thanks you for your business. Happy boating!
