Alright, well this weekend i will be taking the Bu' out for the first time to put some hours on the motor Yahoo.gif . Does anybody have any tips on what to do or what not to do in the first ten hours of operation? Thanks!

As per Indmar OM:

1. For the first hour, do not exceed 2000 RPM; vary and RPM continuously.

2. For the second hour, do not exceed 3000 RPM and vary RPM;

3. For the next five hours, do not exceed 4000 RPM and vary RPM.

4. After 10 - 20 hours, change your oil and filter.

During the first 7 hours, do not pull or carry heavy charges or fill ballast or pull down wedge.

Take a notepad & pen along with you. In the first 20ish hours, you usually find a few things that need fixing. Some will be easy to take care of in your driveway, others the dealer will need to address. If you have a running list, it will be easier to tell them when you take it in for the 10 hour service.

And unless they've changed things since last fall, no break in is required on the Hammerhead. Yahoo.gif

Don't bother, run it hard and have fun. If you think your dealer or malibu follows indmar's break in your crazy.
