AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 92
New Boat Break-In
To ensure proper break-in and lubrication, boat owners should
follow the break in procedures specified in the respective engine
owner’s manual. The first and second oil changes should be
performed by an authorized Ilmor/Mercury/Aviara dealer. Failure
to follow the break-in procedure exactly as stated in the engine
owner’s manual will void the engine warranty!
NOTE: Before operating the boat for the first time, you must read
the engine manufacturer’s manual completely in addition to this
Owner’s Manual!
Please follow the break-in procedure carefully. Close attention to
the following is very important:
Maintain the proper oil level
Until the piston rings, cylinder and other working internal parts
are thoroughly seated, oil consumption can be high and must be
carefully watched. (This continues to be important after break-in,
as well).
Pay close attention to the gauges and video
screen(s)
It is important to stop the engine immediately if the gauges
and/or video screen(s) indicate a problem. Low oil pressure and
overheating are serious issues and require immediate attention.
Abnormal vibration or noises
These symptoms can be the first signs of trouble and should
not be ignored. Occasionally, hardware may work loose,
mountings may need to be tightened or the drive line may
require attention.
Fuel, oil or water leaks
Leaks can pose a serious safety threat. While all new Aviara
boats are lake tested at the factory to check for leaks, it is still
possible that one may occur. If a leak does occur, it is quite likely
that it will happen during the first few hours of operation.
Vary the engine speed
Never run the engine for more than three (3) minutes at any
constant RPM during the break-in period. Following this specific
instruction will assist in the proper break-in of rings and bearings.
