I have read the beak-in procedure.
1hr at 2000 rpm , 1hr at 3000 and the next 8 hrs no full throttle for
more than 5 mins.
My question is; When pre-purchase water testing, how much or little
damage is sustained while the sales guy or I run a new motor at full
throttle for a few minutes to see full speed and other handling
characteristics of the boat
I suggest you follow the directions to the letter.
Thanks for the reply but it doesn't address my question.
Answering your specific question would be difficult for anyone.
The Yamaha computer will know you violated the break-in procedures. If
this is of no concern, go for it.
I followed the procedures with my Yamaha 150, although I did take it
up to about 3500 for perhaps two minutes during my 'test drive'. No
way would I take it to wide open throttle for a 'few minutes'. But, as
to the damage, or lack thereof, who knows?
