not good to run the engine in a tank as the water in the
tank will get hot from the engine exhaust and not cool your
engine properly

Our 2003 Yamaha 225 four cycle calls for a 10-hour break
in. The
dealership has a back-right-down into it freshwater tank,
so the engine
spent the first hour of its operating life on the boat on
the trailer in
that tank, running at the specified throttle settings and
being checked
over carefully by the mechanic.

So, the answer to your query is, yes, you can certainly
partially break
in your new engines in the tank.

Hey Hairball, do you have a furrin motor????????

Hypocrasy revealed, Mr Labor Union.

Skipper, Is that you?

Love the name-calling.
Sure to get votes.
Hypocrisy.
"...(by the way, that's the correct spelling, "hypocrisy,"
not "hypocracy" which
can be roughly translated to mean 'government by a fixative

Fixative salts, however, can be useful. )
