Engine Break‑in
!
WARNING
Operating the boat at high speeds with the outboard trimmed
too far under can create excessive bow steer, resulting in the
operator losing control of the boat. Install the trim limit pin in a
position that prevents excessive trim under and operate the
boat in a safe manner.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the engine break‑in procedures
can result in poor performance throughout the life of the engine
and can cause engine damage. Always follow break‑in
procedures.
