Break In Period
Taking care to properly break in your new engine will pay o in the
long run. In our years of eld testing, we have proven that an Indmar
engine, when properly broken in according to our simple procedures,
will last longer, run better and have fewer repairs over its lifetime.
Your new engine does not require an elaborate break-in procedure.
Just follow these simple instructions and you are o to a great start.
The three (3) most important aspects of new engine break-in are:
1. Avoid running engine at high speeds.
2. Do not carry a heavy load (passengers, gear, etc.).
3. Vary your boat speed during break-in. Don’t run at the same RPM
for a long period of time.
BREAK-IN STEPS
• For the rst hour, do not exceed 2,000 RPM.
• For the second hour, do not exceed 3,000 RPM.
• For the next seven hours, do not exceed 4,000 RPM and vary the
RPM regularly
BREAK-IN TIPS
• Avoid fast accelerations and don’t carry (or pull) a heavy load during
this period.
• Always let engine warm up gradually before acceleration.
• Check oil frequently. During the rst 50 to 100 hours, an engine can
use more oil than usual. Maintain oil at a proper level at all times (do
not overll).
• Monitor transmission uid levels.
• Report abnormal noises or vibrations to your dealer.
• Keep an eye out for loose mountings, ttings, nuts, bolts, and clamps.
During the BREAK-IN process, engine temperature should be carefully
monitored and speed should be reduced if overheating is evident.
