Guys, I'll be home from a business trip on Sunday. If the temperature doesn't drop below 60, I want to get my boat out on the water to break in the outboard. My question is:
How much time will it take me to do the break in and burn the 30 gallons of fuel required by Mercury? The motor is a 150 XR6 and the boat is a Tournament V18. I know that I will need to vary the engine speed, keeping it below 4,000 RPMs for the first hour. But, after I can go to higher RPMs, about how long will a tank of gas last running non-stop above 4,000?
Thanks!
Mark
