Mercury Break In Help

[peterb]

Is it under any sort of warrantee?

I have had a couple of engines rebuilt and here is what i was told to do.

1. Disconnect the VRO (and do a straight mix). This was a condition for my warrantee. If you have the VRO hooked up i would probably leave it.
2. For the first 10 hours double up on the oil.
3. For the first hour just idle the engine at the dock.
4. For hours 2 through 10 stay at 3,500 RPM's or under.

At the end of the break in I changed the plugs because of the rich oil mix.

Good luck.
For the first 10 hours
