[QUOTE="parkerdog, post: 208681, member: 5503"] I'd follow the manual like that other post said. They printed it for a reason. I'm no expert on outboards but I have worked in a car factory for over 20 years and if they are anything like the motors in cars then it has been run quite a bit already. I would think that they start and run them at the factory to check for leaks and to make sure it runs. (they do cars anyway) My guess is the 10 mins they mention is to get it up to temperature.
