Is there a procedure with a NEW complete Mercury drive? If so what is it?

thanks

George at AADS wanted a completely rebuilt drive babied for 5 hours with easy on plane, vary RPM, and no WOT. For the next 5 hours same as first except short periods of WOT were allowed. After 10 hours, change lube and let it eat.

merc lists it in their more current service manuals

I only have manual dated 2000 92-863160

thanks

So is there a different procedure for rebuilding a race drive

Drive it, change the oil at 20hrs

put the hammer down. its either built right and has good parts or its not. id rather find out right away if there is a problem.
