Thanks for the responses.
Forgot about the computer. duh

It does seem wise to be judicious with WOT.
Water test not till 3/21.

I'm gonna by it unless it sinks or doesn't work at the splash.

It's a leftover 2008 model and is priced right.

I really think WOT takes time off the life of an engine, particularly
a 4 stroke but that may just be me..

Automotive 4 strokes run at WOT for any length of time have very short
lives. I've been told by a number of people who should know that
3400 to 3600 should be about the max for normal operation, maybe 4000
for outboards.
