New 225 Suzuki outboard

[elcamino12sec]

This weekend I purchased a 2003 DT225EFI 2 stroke at the Miami boat show. I have not yet rigged the motor but will be in the water soon. I am asking advice an the break in procedures, I am sure I will get 3 or 4 dirrerent methods from 3 or 4 different people. I have heard all kinds of different ways, but if anyone ownes this type of motor, I would like to know what your dealer told you so I can compare it to how my dealer advises me.<br />Also, while at the boat show, I was asking about 2cycle oil, all the motor manufactures said to run their oil, (of course) I always run valvoline outboard 2stroke tcw3 oil. Then everybody else says any tcw3 works just as well as the other. Can anybody shed some light on this mystery?<br />One last thing, my previous motor was a 1985 DT140, has good lower unit and ran fine, just has a bad cylinder, I need to get rid of it now but do not know what its worth, any body have any idea what I can get for this? or if anyone is intrested in this, let me know, thanks!!

I don't want to sound like a smart aleck, but why don't you just follow the manufacturers break in procedure?<br /><br />They have just as much invested in making you happy as you do.
