Break-in of Mercury

[Grumpy]

Man, you are asking the wrong people. You should be asking the dealer these questions and listen to him --not jackleg mechanics. If something goes wrong because you didn't follow the manufacturer's instructions, you could void your warrenty.

PK: It`s all in the owners manual. If your dealer didn`t give you one, make sure he does. Good luck, Tom.

it should be in you manual but the guys a Stokleys told me to NOT LET IN IDLE for a long period of time and to keep the RMP's moving, thus change speeds when running but I thought like you that I didn;t need to open it up but they told me that was fine, and that idling was harder on them that anything, it causes the motor to load-up. He also mentioned something about adding an extra quart of oil to the 1st (break-in) tank, it helps the rings seal.
Hope this is alittle help...
