Welcome to the BBC...............a good place to be. First of all, release the caps lock......that way all won't think that you are shouting. I have a 2003 Evinrude 200, and yes it is a BRP engine. Engine has been awsome, and absolutely trouble free. I have ran XD 100 in it since it had 12 hours on the engine. Engine will fly on my 519 !!.........Prop the engine to max rpm's of 5800 and let her go. I would not run it over 5800 rpm's...............Engine will run over that a little and be safe, but this is the top of the recommended wot rpm range.............running hard over that for a duration, and it will start to shake some of the powerhead bolts and nuts loose. Just keep a good check on all of the components every once in a while and all will be fine. Once again, they are awsome engines.........................Roger
