I bought a new 2.5 hp four stroke yamaha a couple of weeks ago and tested it this past weekend on my 14 ft indian river canoes outdoorsman. I was extremely pleased with the motor and canoe. I tried to make sure I following the break schedule, first hour no more then 1/2 throttle, second hour no more then 3/4 throttle. I noticed that the motor would seem to top out at about half throttle, maybe even a little under half. is this normal for the break in period? will I gain more power the more it runs? maybe it was the conditions?

at the 3:20 mark and 4:28 mark of the video, the engine seemed to be putting out max power, even though the throttle showed not even at the half way mark.

at the 5:42 mark, the engine was at the lowest throttle, but water conditions were much better
