Ok to break in new outboard in a tank?
"Me" wrote in message
... "bobl" wrote in message ... Just bought a new boat and motors (8 hp and 90 hp hondas) and was wondering if it would be acceptable to perform some of the break in hours in my driveway using a tank filled with water. I have access to some large stock feeder tanks and had heard that this was actually done by some dealers. Any advice? thanks! I suppose as long as you can put the motors under resonable load (i.e your tanks are big enough) is it can't do any halm. Could be a tedious job though! Could be kind of noisy too, so consider your neighbors. A few 1/2 hour sessions might be the way to go to remedy both problems. I would think a stock tank would provide enough load. I'll also bet that normal break in procedures won't be too awful to comply with on a long trip (but then again, I can't remember the last time I broke in a new motor - too cheap to buy new these days!). Why not ask the dealer you bought from? |
