This is probably just a miscommunication....The $100 "decal" that Tige is talking about isn't a sticker...it's the chrome Tige emblem.....

The break-in of the engine is similar to a car, you're trying to seat the piston rings to the cylinder walls to get a good seal, and getting the last bit of manufacturing debris from the internals out of the engine, hence the 20 hour oil change. If you go on some engine build forums and race car forums they recommend taking a fresh built engine, find a close empty straight road, let the engine warm up and give it hard acceleration up to 60-70 mph, then brake hard, rinse and repeat for 10 reps, get home and change the oil right away, break-in complete, drive like normal after that. The hard breaking is to set the pads.

The only change I typically make to that process is to let off the throttle & allow the engine to decelerate the car-this changes the load & allow the rings to fully seat. This is actually how TRW states to break their rings in, not sure how you'd do deceleration on a boat, but most important is to vary the engine speed. Also, do the first oil change shortly after this.

Nice! Haven't been on that water in a long time.... probably since I was a kid. We used to love those few hours after my parents got off and the sun going down.
