The 2004 owners manual is the best of any owners manual I've had previously at explaining the break-in period. The recommendation in the manual is to break in your motor for the first twenty hours by varying the speed and not loading the boat. The only variance is their recommendation to change the oil at 10 hours--not 20 hours. Before reading that I had always gone with the 20 hour interval for the first service as well. But if you have 2002--I'm guessing your more interest in the every 50 hours service interval.
