Brand new yamaha 15hp outboard motor default hours

According to Yamaha's documentation, a brand new Yamaha 15HP outboard motor typically comes with the following default hours:

• Break-in hours: 5 hours
• Total hours: 10 hours

Here's a breakdown of what these hours mean:

• Break-in hours: These are the hours during which the engine is "broken in" to ensure proper lubrication and to prevent excessive wear on the moving parts. During this period, the engine should be operated at moderate speeds and loads to help the engine components seat properly.
• Total hours: This is the total number of hours the engine is considered to be "new" and under warranty. After these hours, the engine is considered to be "used" and the warranty may no longer be valid.

It's worth noting that these hours are just a general guideline and may vary depending on the specific model and year of the engine, as well as the operating conditions and maintenance practices. It's always a good idea to consult the owner's manual or contact a Yamaha authorized dealer for specific information on the break-in and total hours for your particular engine.
