[QUOTE="AlexB, post: 428482, member: 21169"] Hey guys, I'm hoping you can help me interpret these instructions for breaking in my new 8-HP Tohatsu outboard. Taken literally, it looks to me like they recommend a 10-hour break in period concluding with 7 hours (!!!) of cruising at 3/4 throttle. (With bursts of WOT no more than once every 10 mins). That sounds a little exhausting... Maybe the break in (or some portion thereof) can be done on dry land with a big trash can or some ear muffs and a hose? Am I interpreting this wrong? Thanks in advance.
