    hey guys, just curious is 271 hours alot on an 2002 225 efi? Just had my engine serviced for the first time since i owned it and they told me it has 271 hours on it.
    Thanks. I have only owned it for one season. It rocks, I love it.

    Consider it "well broken in".

    Engine "hours" are not NEARLY as important as "how the engine was treated DURING those hours".

    Very solid- excellent engines. They love fuel... but they like to run, too!
