First things we added on the Mako 18LTS, along with the first hour of breaking in the engine.
First 2 hours are run the engine at varied throttle speeds, up to 4500 rpm, and at at full throttle for 1 minute every 10 minutes.
The next 8 hours after that you avoid full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time.

I've got a 2014 18lts that I purchased used in 2016. I fish it everywhere in South FL. Everglades, Offshore, Keys, Okeechobee, and have also fished Harris Chain. It's a great boat! You'll probably get around 43 mph out of it at top speed. Curious as to what they gave you to plug the scrupper hole. That is the only real flaw on that boat.

Thank you for watching the video, I appreciate it. I’ve definitely gotten over 43, however I have 7 more hours of breaking it in so to speak, so haven’t gone full throttle yet, so to speak. Harris Chain and Lake Griffin are very close to me, I’ve been going to both to run the boat, will be headed to the Gulf soon. So I use the T plug for the scupper underneath, and I’m thinking of getting something for the drain inside the boat, as I agree with you , the design to let water into the boat, I’m not a fan of, however as we know it drains out quickly once we get going, thank goodness, another reason they don’t recommend docking this boat for an extended amount of time. Tight lines to you, and maybe I’ll see you out there.

@@outdooradventureswithjason6275 I've got the 115 Pro XS 2 stroke on mine. I can't imagine you'll get much more speed but I would love to hear if you do. Rumor is that this boat is being remodeled for 2025 and will be equipped with a 150. That would be really interesting! The drain on the deck is what I was referring to. It fills up in the rain but does easily drain once you get going. Enjoy. I subscribed to see what you do next. 👍
