How to Break in Your New Mercury Pro XS

[@danebergeron4478]

Thank you. I just bought a new Caymus CX21 Pro with the Pro XS 250. I will use this guide to beak in the motor.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Just bought a phoenix 721 with a 250 merc I’m so glad I came across this video. Most helpful and informative video that I have watched!

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for tuning into the channel.

I'm about to go through this process in a few days. Thanks for sharing this info.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

You’re welcome. Make sure to copy that time chart from the description section to help you. Congratulations on your new boat and Mercury motor!

[@markfisheroutdoors]

And it is for sale in six months for $90,000 !

Just bought a pontoon with a mercury motor and my only question is will it stay under 4500 rpm at full throttle? That’s the only ly part I don’t quite understand

[@paulwilliams7362]

When I hear full throttle I instantly think highest rpm and I’m like is this possible 😂

[@markfisheroutdoors]

@@paulwilliams7362 during the one minute full throttle period they do NOT want you to stay under 4500 rpm. However they want you to stay under that ( except for the one minute every 10 minutes) until you reach the end of the break in period. Also, in order to reach maximum rpm you must adjust both throttle (as you said…full throttle) but also correct trim. Hope this helps

[@paulwilliams7362]

@@markfisheroutdoors yes, thank you sir! I think they should rewrite the manual. I can’t be the only person who thought that way lol.

[@cristianracautanu4782]

I am a bit confused, u have 3min 500 RPM round after a 3min 3500 RPM? The idle for a 90hp is between 700-800 RPM.And u have this 500 RPM sequence 2 times in the 1st hour and 2nd hour run

[@markfisheroutdoors]

This video is for breaking in a Mercury Pro XS 250 hp

[@cristianracautanu4782]

From my research it should be similar,as it say in the merc book i received also, various RPM below 4500 with full throttle run of a 1 min every 10min for the first 2 hours.

[@markfisheroutdoors]

@cristianracautanu4782 in order to be in compliance with the guidelines from Mercury you need to vary the rpm’s for the first two hours (ie make sure you cover the entire range of rpm’s without remaining at the same rpm for an extended period of time) I believe that what you’re pointing out is that using my system would give you more time at a certain rpm (500) than others. That doesn’t matter. As long as you have covered the range intermittently and run full speed for one minute every 10 minutes. This system meets the manufacturer warranty requirement while giving the user a systematic approach so they don’t lose track of what rpm’s they have already covered.

👍👍👍

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Thanks

[@chrisuttech8517]

i hope i win the lottery!

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Good luck!

[@hydro_rebel7741]

So I've watched 3 or 4 different videos on this and they all said different things 😢

[@markfisheroutdoors]

Look at when the videos were made. Mercury has changed their recommended procedures throughout the years. The main point of my video however gives you a structured timeline to change rpm’s that will meet Mercury’s requirements and will make you feel confident that you didn’t accidentally lose track of where you were in the process. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comments.

"WOW"!! So If I Happen To Get A Performance Build, On An A Engine, For My Car. And they happen to get A Dyno Run. ( They Have Already Broke it in!! ) And Most Manufacture Cars, Broke In Their Engines!! "SO", I Why Should It Be My Responsibility? To Break It The Engine the Engingine In??

[@markfisheroutdoors]

I don’t think it would be on your car. But it is on your outboard boat engine.
