Kudos to Chris for taking 5 hours out of his day for breaking in that engine, most outboard shops would have you do it on your own time. Also I would look into that spray coming off the powerpole spraying onto the motor.

Just finished the first 3 hours of break-in on my new twin 250's now for the remaining 7 :)

Watched this video when it first dropped, Bought my 2005 24' CC Sea Pro Bay Boat in need of a re power earlier this summer and just this week, Took it to Chris @ On Site in Ruskin, he seems awesome, straight forward, knowledgeable and fair. Boat is there now for a new White 250 and a Bobs Action jack plate combo, probably be done next week and I get to do the break-in between Christmas and New Years. Living in Bradenton Ruskin was a short drive and worth it !! Enjoy your videos and good be able to patronize someone you deal with locally.

This winter at the MN boat show, I decided to re-power my boat with a 140HP Suzuki. Traded in my 150HP Johnson 2 stroke. I have not had it on the water yet (next week hopefully 10 Apr 24) Have to do the break-in. Can't wait to get it wet!

We missed the boat parade. :( Go Bucs and to you, the boat is looking good just too bad she's off the water again being worked on.

Fire thumbnail 💯 congrats on the new zuki zuki

Hi Josh, HEY ~ nice wrap on your steering wheel. So sorry to hear how Boring breaking in a motor can be. I mean out in a boat All day does seem like a real drag! lol Now your all done and ready to go. Hope you will be happy with the new Power Plant. BTW, KZfaq is up to not sending out notifications when your videos drop. (At least for me. I missed this one and the previous one.) Take Care my friends. Stay Well and God Bless ✝

Hey Josh. That first three hours had to seem sooo long..lol. I know you, you were ready to just go.. But gotta do things the way you have to go just to expensive not too. Great video Josh and thanks for sharing.. Always your friend, fan, and subscriber..

thank you great video im getting a 200 suzuki for my new boat being built a pair custom 21

Awesome captain 👍🏾

Very nice. I had to get a new 200 Suzuki this week. Can't wait to try it out

“ How to break in a new motor !” Load boat with enough provisions for four days , fill up gas tank ! And take extra gas , take plenty of bait and ice, drive to choice locations and cast repeatedly till arm wants to fall off , return to port load boat , and clean mass amounts of fish , oh and explain to you wife and kids why your smiling all the time ! 👍🏼😁

Do i need to change oil after the first 20 hours? And how do i know i’ve reached 20 hours if i have the regular rpm gauge and not the digital one? Will the oil light turn on? Thanks!

That 80% off sounds really nice on a 200hp.

Not bad, need a marine company near me that treats their customers like them

Thanks for creating this video. If someone doesn't have enough time to do the run-in after 3000rpm, say, and then comes back another day to do the 4000rpm, should they go through the 15min idle also? How long is it recommended to warm up an engine (eg 140hp) before driving off, normally? Thanks again

*Josh... I didn't see the "in" part of break in when I saw the title header... So, the first thing I thought was that this was going to be a Chris-cuss-out-in-up--down-sideways...The Header really does change if you remove or you don't see the "in" part of it* ..gw

Fix the transducer splashing the sea water onto the engine. Garmin makes a transducer cover to fix this issue.

Cant wait for my repower with my new suzuki - df300btx5- buying it from chris at on-site

So the last 7 hours you can run to your favourite fishing spots and stop and fish for the rest of the break-in?

Hey Josh I have a new Suzuki 140 my question is do I have to run at those rpms the whole time or just not to exceed those rpms? Just wondering if hit no wakes can I go from 3000 to idle for a while then back to 3000?

what oil did you use for the break in? Book says ecstar 10w30/10w40 or equivalent. Been doing a little poking around and 90% of marinas, suzuki outboard mechanics..ect say to use 100% conventional for break in.

Awesome, ....

Judging by the hat...subbed. Back the blue!

Awesome

These motors last 6-10,000 hours so that break-in period should be worth it. Suzuki over Yamaha every time 👍

Just bought a Suzuki. I have a question if you don’t mind. Do you have to drive for one hour and forty five minutes at 3000 RPM continuously or can you do it in stages?

You wont blow away my merc 150 😂 ill keep up with you

does the HOURS have to be straight, or can you break it up? So take it up to 3000RPM for 1.45 hours or 30 minutes here 30 minutes there?

I have a small 20 HP Suzuki. Do you recommend the same warm up time? Also is this break in all during the same day or can I separate it out?

Will the breakin still work by following the manuel instructions?

I just got my brand new boat today. Its a 2022 so its a leftover. The dealer said he took it out the day before I showed up to get it. He said he ran it a bit and got it up on plane and maxed out the rpms for a minute. He didnt say anything about breaking it in or letting it idle first. Is this going to void my warranty? Should i be concerned or should i just go through the break in process? Thank you in advance

What is attached to your lanyard?

Can i do the 7 hours on another day or preferably same day?

Where did you get it installed? I live in the Tampa Bay Area to.

I was only able to get into the 1.45 hours at 3K R/PM and had to pack up for the day. Can I finish my last stage of 4K R/PM in the morning like I had planned?

What does it mean when the motor vibrates?

You going fishing? Nope I’m going on a 10 hour motor break in 🤯🤯🤯no fishin?😵😵😵

👍
