Breaking In Motor On New Boat
well it finally happened, we had some beautiful weather here in central kansas, so i took my wife, daughter and dog and went to Wilson lake and put about 3 hours or so on my new boat and motor. the break in time for it is 10 hours so i still have some more to go but at least i got some hours on it and had enough to open it up full throttle to see how the boat would run. You can only leave it full throttle for no more then 5 minutes but the boat will top out at about 40m.p.h. which i don;t think is too bad for a 17' deep v boat with 3 persons and gear on the boat. not to mention 22 gals of fuel. so it was a great time and the boat ran well and for the most part kept us pretty dry, just a little spray over the sides of the boat now and again.
