How is it going? This is my first post here I came across this forum while searching for information.
I have an 07 Optimax XL with 112 hours on it and I have to replace the oil tank due to a bad float.
I did get a few quotes from a couple merc dealers to prime it using the ddt computer which ranged from $60 to $250.
I have read alot of posts about putting it back into break in mode and they usually end up with arguments from both sides saying it's fine and the others saying not to but never any reasoning behind it.
I have two questions that I hope you guys can clear up for me (sorry if they are dumb questions but I am not too familiar with outboards outside of basic maintenance)
If I put it in break in mode (manual states for 120 min. above 3500 rpms) outside of burning extra oil and changing the plugs after break in. Is there anything else that could potentially damage the motor?
I also read the sticky about breaking in the motor do I have to follow that procedure since the motor has already been broke in or just run it above 3500 for 2 hours until the internal clock takes it out of break in?
Thank you,
