I also wanted to find out from those of you who got your boats new, did you follow a break-in for the motor and if so what did you do? The Indmar Manual has a detailed 10hr break-in procedure that I was planning on following but wanted to see what you guys did. Any tips or pointers for the break-in? TIA

We followed the Indmar 10 hour break in to a T. I figure if it wasn’t necessary it wouldn’t be in the manual and following the break in wouldn’t hurt anything. It was a long day driving around Conroe going slow though lol.

Had no idea the dealer could do that, I’ll have to check w mine about paint!Quote:

I’m probably gonna change the oil more often than recommended, every 20-30 hours since we’ll be surfing so much. Bought 24qt of Ford Motorcraft oil off Amazon, works out to $40 an oil change.

Pacific Blue arms & cans would look pretty killer on yours...Quote:

So a quick question for you guys. My boat is going to get tinted on Monday and will be inside their shop over night Monday and most likely Tuesday night as well. I know you northern guys will laugh at this but should my dealer drain the motor before they take it to the shop with the possibility of a “light” freeze both nights? (I have attached the forecast) the shop is a steel building that appeared insulated but not sure if it was climate controlled as today was nice day temperature wise.
I only ask because because I don’t have near the knowledge that some of you do when it comes to these boats. TIAAttachment 28126

You'll be fine. Down here it's only a real concern if there are several consecutive days of hard freeze.Quote:

Yeah with a low of 32 I don't believe you have anything to worry about. If it starts hitting the 20s for multiple hours then there would be some cause for concern.
Awesome! That is the kind of info I was looking for.Quote:

Looking at the weather you may be pushing your break in day to Sunday and finding a new day to actually get behind and ride.
Ya this weekend and next weekend aren't looking all that great! Sunday looks great but hopefully as it gets closer it will clear up a little.Quote:

Most likely not but I don't want to tell you something and be wrong. It literally takes like 10 minutes to drain the water from the cooling system.Quote:

On the starboard side near the front of the engine (back of the boat) there is a tall black cylinder, this is your heat exchanger and it has another blue plastic plug in the bottom of it. Remove it. A little more centrally located on the motor than that is an elbow that has another blue plug in it, remove it. The water pump impeller housing is secure by 4 5/16" bolts. Remove them and the housing cover. Above the alyernator there is a blue plastic cover that has threaded holes to hold you plugs that you removed. Boom, your cooling system is winterized.
For the ballast system if you just disconnect the bags and hit the drain switch for each pump for a couple seconds you should be good.
Zach, I created a word doc with pictures. I believe it's been uploaded to the forum but if not, I can send you a copy...Quote:

Ya it is kind of a weird situation because I haven't taken delivery of the boat yet so I am not really sure who is "responsible" for it. Either way I want to make sure it is taken care of properly.Quote:

Solar reflections pulls the glass out...it's more expensive but it's the right way to do it.Quote:
