I wouldnt run it WOT. I follow what ever the breakin intructions were then worry about WOT. If the beeping worrying you that much take it back to the dealer. Its still under warranty. Right?

The motor will generate some extra heat until the parts loosen up. Good way to sieze the engine. Running WOT ahead of Merc's recommendation will void any warranty. Not sure about the 2004 but typical Merc pressure is 5 psi at idle to 30 psi @ WOT.
