179- thanks. Yes i definitely will be following the break in procedure to the letter. Althought Scott (at Viking) was not really too concerned that I do so. He suggested to "just go boating" running her at varrying RPM's - not WOT for extended periods. The manual says
First 15 min at idle
Next 1:45 at < 3000rpm
Next 1:00 at 4000 rpm
Next 7 hrs at desired speed - not WOT for more than 5 continuous minutes.
Im not sure what im going to do driving around at 3000rpms for 2hrs - but I'll have fun doing it!
