Lower unit break in
Just had a TM1 gearcase replaced under warranty and I'm wondering if there's a break in procedure I need to follow.

I've been told by board members to vary RPM's the first 2 hours and change the oil after 10hrs. I had 2 new LU put on, last one in April, all were under warranty and I asked the Mercury mechanic and he told me no, run it like you stole it... I always take it easy the first few hours and then balls to the wall... Dan

Thanks Dan. I was told to do the same thing when I replaced my vrod case. I'll take it easy for a couple hours before running like a scolded dog.

I have been told to break it in just like a new motor. That's what I have done in the past and has worked out very good.
