I just bought a new 2005 Mercury 60HP 2-stroke. How should I go about breaking it in? I have had people tell me to hold it wide open to keeping it under 4000 RPMs.

Another question. It stopped letting out a "pee" from the water pump yesterdy. I took it back to the dealer, and he took an air hose and blew out some debre. The hole is very small and obviously easy to create blockages. Have any of you had this problem? The dealer showed me the water coming out of the exhaust is what keeps the motor cool. I like the "pee" since it shows me the water pump is working properly!
