Default Boat repairs are killing me!

I'm just curious, what is your break in procedure? What type motor is it?
I might have missed this earlier if so I apologize. Kirk.

Picked up the boat, drove it down to a public dock and put it in the
water. Made it about a mile and, well, or course, the smell of burning
oil and the sounds of severe knocking from the motor. Luckily I
wasn't very far out. I made it back to the ramp at about the same
time the motor gave it's final cry.

Needless to say, given this is the 5th time they've rebuilt the motor
in the last few months, it's in my driveway waiting to go to a real
machine shop. Sadly enough, I really think the marina may still be
thinking I'm going to pay them, but, hopefully, I'm wrong.
