[QUOTE="answer3, post: 378052, member: 15618"] thanks for the tips guys! DaleH, I really wanted to buy a new motor on it for my peace of mind. I did not think that it was going to freeze that quick, especially on salt water :shock: I will pay attention to that... I will store the boat in a garage so rain water will not be an issue. I didn't know about the break in process so I looked it up online and found it for Tohatsu outboards, not the same but it gave me an idea of what that is. I will real all the manufacturer instructions very carefully when I pick up the boat tomorrow! As I understood you have to use the outboard at low speed then you can increase the speed after several hours and are able to use it at full throttle around 10h after starting it. What is the purpose of this break in process? what happens in case you don't follow it? I assume it is very bad but I am just curious to know what are the issues. Do the engine components need to heat slowly at the beginning so they are not damaged? [/QUOTE]
