Does anyone know the proper way to break in a new engine?

RE: New Engine Break-in

There is a full description in your engine manual

If you don't have your engine manual, they are available for download on the PlanetNautique web site at this link:

In the 2006 Correct Craft manual it's page 6-11.

Break In Procedure
Make sure all your passengers are properly seated before starting
the break in procedure. After the engine is thoroughly warmed up
and you have driven the boat into a large open area, advance the
throttle to wide open until the maximum rpms are reached. Do not
exceed 5,000 rpm. Reduce the throttle to 2,800-3,000 rpms and
cruise at or below this speed for 30 minutes. Reduce the speed to
idle, advance the throttle to wide open and operate at that speed
for one minute; reduce to the previous cruising speed for a few
minutes and repeat. Accelerating from idle speed to wide open
assists in seating the piston rings. This cycle can be repeated from
time to time during the first five hours of operation. DO NOT
operate engine at full throttle for longer than 1-2 minutes.

I just picked mine up on Monday from having the new motor installed and that is exactly what the manual that came with the motor says to do. It is also a 01SAN. WCCC did the install and also told me to run it for 50hrs. before changing the oil. Give Mark a call at the shop if you have any questions about your new motor, he was very helpful and seemed to have all of the right answers.

I've been following the book for the first 7.5 hours - but man 2800-3000 RFP is not even 36MPH. You telling me I cannot ski until after the first 25 hours?

It should only be that way for the first 5 hours, then you can run it normal.

How do you already need a new motor in an 01
