How to Do a Break in?
 
I have a new Rossi 161R21 outboard engine, and I want to know How to do a Break in?

Which is the best propeller by this engine?

1. Open the needle-valve 4 turns.

2. Run the engine with smoke coming out of the tuned pipe for a couple of tanks.

3. Octura X440 is a good "starting point" prop.

Thanks Jerry. What is your opinion about the x440 3 blade?

The 440/3 is a lot of prop for a 3.5 OB. The 437/3 is a better choice for a 3-bladed prop for 3.5 OB.
