I think the life span at 30k even after breaking in is measure in seconds.

Just kick the motor up a little to get on plane and then back off, or add
more weight in the front of the boat.

Scott will definitely do. I still have 9 hours of break in time left,
,
I will hopefully put on half that this weekend , or even more. I would
like to get it ot a point where I can put the hammer down!

Don't get in a hurry. My dealer said break-in was critical on the HPDI



Yeah, I definitely will not do anything that would jeapordize the
longevity of that motor. I wouldn't go over 20k at all on sunday,
though my break in puts me about about a max of 30k now, and soon a max
of 40k. My biggest issue is , that when trying to get 30k my boat
pretty much stands straight up, and I never do get on plane. Now do I
get th eboat on plane, and then back off to 30k, or just take the time
to get on plane from a gradual acceleration. I am going to call the
Marina as well. I just want to do it right, and not screw anything up.
Everything I have been through makes me treat this boat with kid gloves.

Thanks for any help guys!

Chris
