• Do not operate at full throttle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.
• Frequently check engine oil level. Add oil as needed. It is normal for oil consumption to be high during the break‑in period.
After the Break‑In Period
To help extend the life of your Mercury MerCruiser power package, follow these recommendations:
• Ensure that the propeller allows the engine to operate at or near the top of the specified wide‑open throttle (WOT) RPM
range. Refer to Specifications and Maintenance.
• Operate the engine at 3/4 throttle or lower. Refrain from prolonged operation at WOT RPM.
End of First Season Checkup
At the end of the first season of operation, contact an authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer to discuss and/or perform
scheduled maintenance items. If you are in an area where the product is operated continuously, year‑round, you should contact
your dealer at the end of the first 100 hours of operation or once yearly, whichever occurs first.
