macmichael Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I just had a brand new 2014 115 horse Mercury 4 stroke installed. Any tips on breaking it in? Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 Follow the Mercury instructions. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 It should be spelled out in the manual. Use that as your bible. Some motors have it programmed in the ECM so they do it automatically. Quote
macmichael Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 Follow the Mercury instructions That's what I have planned to do. Quote
Amarley Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Congratulations! I'd hate to tell you anything wrong, but my uncle got a 225 Mercury and we had to drive it with the trim all the way down for an hour. Ask the dealer or call Mercury. Get ethanol free gas. Quote

Ask the dealer or call Mercury. Get ethanol free gas. Good luck getting ethanol free has anywhere!! Very few places even have it anymore. Quote
Amarley Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 The gas station carries it near the lake I fish. Thank goodness. Costs about $.50 more per gallon though. Quote
joefish Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 New boat engines are designed to run ethanol gas now days. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 Be religious about following the break in instructions. Sometimes that takes a while. Quote
Amarley Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 New boat engines are designed to run ethanol gas now days. That's good news! Worrying about this ethanol on older engines is getting old, fast! Quote
