How To Properly Break In An Outboard Motor ( Yamaha SHO 250 ) + Electronics Tips

Jump in Tim's new Skeeter FXR 21 bass boat and ride along as he breaks in his new Yamaha SHO 250 outboard engine! Properly breaking in your motor is an essential step in having a reliable motor for years to come. Every motor, regardless of brand, has a specific break in procedure for the first 10 hours of use. The first hour requires a lot of idle time, so Tim also breaks down the new Humminbird interface for Apex, Solix, and Xplore units.

The proper break in procedure or a Yamaha Outboard is as follows...

•First Hour: Run the boat at varying speeds, up to 2000 RPM

•Second Hour: Accelerate the boat onto plane (without reaching full throttle) then back off as much as possible, while still staying on plan.

•Following 8 Hours: Operate the vessel at all speeds, but avoid operating at full throttle for more than 5 minutes.

We hope you found this video useful. While it's tempting to skip ahead of the break in procedure and just go fishing, that is a mistake that will cost you later. Take the time to break your motor in properly, and enjoy the reliability into the future.
