No, I haven't heard yet when they will be ready to go, but they will have to be run easy first 2 hrs, then varied up to and including WOT for the next 8, then oil changed. I figure it will take all day on ICW and Brazos/San Bernard before making it back to Surfside Marina for the oil change. That is the recommendations from Yamaha, minus the specific variations of throttle and time for each cycle of variance of RPM in the last 8 hrs of the break in.

I have heard from others around here and the net that the best break in for any 4 stroke is to really hammer them in the first 10 hrs. I am gonna need some real calm waters to do that, as I am a skeerdy-cat in my old age! :) I am thinking about running down to Palacios via ICW or over to Galveston and back, but I have not charted anything yet to figure out if I can do either within the break in time allotted.

What will be a pain will be getting the new motors on the Outrage 18 broke in. They will have to be broken in individually, so it will be 20 hrs involved with these :(
