How to break in a brand new Suzuki Outboard Motor

Here is the perfect instruction on how to break in a brand new Suzuki Outboard motor. The process is fairly simple but very important, to say the least. following these simple steps help seat the piston and make sure the motor adapts accordingly. Not following these instructions could lead to piston or motor failure and could void your warranty. Here are the steps in perfect sequence:

Step 1: Idle the engine in gear for 15 minutes or longer, keep the RPMs low.

Step 2: Run the boat for one hour and forty-five minutes at 3000 RPMs. Do not exceed 3000.

Step 3: Run the boat at 4000 RPMs for one hour. Do not exceed the 4000 RPMs.

Step 4: Operate the boat normally but do not run at full RPMs for longer than five minutes. It's best to fluctuate the RPMs and do this for the next seven hours.

That is all there is to properly break in your new Suzuki. I must admit, I have been very satisfied with my purchase thus far and look forward to years of reliability.

Just finished the first 3 hours of break-in on my new twin 250's now for the remaining 7 :)

Kudos to Chris for taking 5 hours out of his day for breaking in that engine, most outboard shops would have you do it on your own time. Also I would look into that spray coming off the powerpole spraying onto the motor.

Watched this video when it first dropped, Bought my 2005 24' CC Sea Pro Bay Boat in need of a re power earlier this summer and just this week, Took it to Chris @ On Site in Ruskin, he seems awesome, straight forward, knowledgeable and fair. Boat is there now for a new White 250 and a Bobs Action jack plate combo, probably be done next week and I get to do the break-in between Christmas and New Years. Living in Bradenton Ruskin was a short drive and worth it !! Enjoy your videos and good be able to patronize someone you deal with locally.

We missed the boat parade. :( Go Bucs and to you, the boat is looking good just too bad she's off the water again being worked on.

Do i need to change oil after the first 20 hours? And how do i know i’ve reached 20 hours if i have the regular rpm gauge and not the digital one? Will the oil light turn on?

Thanks!

This winter at the MN boat show, I decided to re-power my boat with a 140HP Suzuki. Traded in my 150HP Johnson 2 stroke. I have not had it on the water yet (next week hopefully 10 Apr 24) Have to do the break-in. Can't wait to get it wet!

Thanks for creating this video.
If someone doesn't have enough time to do the run-in after 3000rpm, say, and then comes back another day to do the 4000rpm, should they go through the 15min idle also?
How long is it recommended to warm up an engine (eg 140hp) before driving off, normally?
Thanks again

Repowered my action craft flatsmaster with a 150 Suzuki...love it! Always wanted a four stroke. I hope yours treats you a good as mine is treating me.

Hi Josh, HEY ~ nice wrap on your steering wheel. So sorry to hear how Boring breaking in a motor can be. I mean out in a boat All day does seem like a real drag! lol Now your all done and ready to go. Hope you will be happy with the new Power Plant. BTW, YouTube is up to not sending out notifications when your videos drop. (At least for me. I missed this one and the previous one.) Take Care my friends. Stay Well and God Bless ✝

[rickhiggs]

Hey Josh. That first three hours had to seem sooo long..lol. I know you, you were ready to just go.. But gotta do things the way you have to go just to expensive not too. Great video Josh and thanks for sharing.. Always your friend, fan, and subscriber..

[jonsmith]

thank you great video im getting a 200 suzuki for my new boat being built a pair custom 21

[TheRodFather]

So the last 7 hours you can run to your favourite fishing spots and stop and fish for the rest of the break-in?

[iaspire]

Not bad, need a marine company near me that treats their customers like them

[timothyjones]

That 80% off sounds really nice on a 200hp.

[shadesofblue]

Very nice. I had to get a new 200 Suzuki this week. Can't wait to try it out

[vb]

what oil did you use for the break in? Book says ecstar 10w30/10w40 or equivalent. Been doing a little poking around and 90% of marinas, suzuki outboard mechanics..ect say to use 100% conventional for break in.

[georgeshreve]

Hey Josh
I have a new Suzuki 140 my question is do I have to run at those rpms the whole time or just not to exceed those rpms? Just wondering if hit no wakes can I go from 3000 to idle for a while then back to 3000?

[sophiamoore]

Will the breakin still work by following the manuel instructions?

[brianbergen]

I have a small 20 HP Suzuki. Do you recommend the same warm up time? Also is this break in all during the same day or can I separate it out?
