Yamaha F150 break in
 

Question...can you break in the motor using a large garbage can filled with water to add resistance to the prop, or do you have to run it in the water. I'm referring to the first 2 hours where you can't go over 2000 rpms the first hour and over 3000 rpms the second hour?

Sorry for the dumb question, but this is my first 4 stroke outboard. Hardly any break in on a 2 stroke.

i would launch it... The exhaust from the prop getting cycled back through engine to cool is no bueno IMHO... Im no motor mechanic either..

That makes sense Jordan. Thanks for the quick reply.

Since you in mandeville go launch in the lake and troll the bridge. You never know , may do some good while burning the gas on breakin.

And mark the pilings that are holding boats

Damn good ideas fellas!!! I was just gonna put in the bogue falaya and enjoy the scenery. But now I'm rethinking....

I was informed that1 is what they recommend 2won't hurt and then the same with the 2nd phase.I have been trouble free with my 4 stroke . Good luck with your's.
