So last trip out last year a hit an underwater obstruction and needed a lower unit replacement. Shop replaced my lower unit and props with a reman unit. I know when breaking in a new boat there’s a procedure, but what is the procedure when it’s just the lower unit? I plan to have the gear lube swapped at 20 hours.

the break in procedure is normally for the rings in the motor.

run your drive, swap oil after the first 15-20 hours and your fine.
