first 4 stroke and first new motor does it really need a ten hour break in and is trolling for long periods ok during break in :?:

If that's what is required to keep it under warranty then that's what I'd do.

Agreed, protect the warranty.

See below for typical 10-hr break-in and KNOW that 4-strokes tend to "make oil" if/when not broken in correctly! Most baby the motor too much, which is BAD ...

SEE: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37065&hilit=Break , for guidance ...

But follow your OEM instructions to the letter!

I run a half ounce to 5 gals of the blue 2-smoke Stabil in all 5 of my outboards. Never had a problem. Not sure about a four stroke. I don't own one (Yet).

I too would run the manufactures break in procedure to the letter.
