As we say in the car business......RTFM and it don't mean "read the FAT manual".

So what does it mean

We just got our 21' Shockwave Step Skier with the 6.2 MPI in January. We got a Mercruiser manual with it. It says for the first 10 hours don't go over 3/4 throttle and to vary your speed, don't idle to much. After 10 hours you can go full throttle for short lenghts of time but keep varying your speed. At 20 hours you are home free. We are at 11.5 hour, after tomorrow hope to be at 15 hours. Barry look for us soon for our 20 hour service, after that can't wait to water ski.

I think the mercruiser manual will say something about avoiding full throttle for the first 15 approx hours and making sure to vary the engine rpm to help seat everything etc.
Does anybody really do that?
I'm sure they dont do it w/cars. I think all I would really try to avoid is continuous full throttle operation, but I would DEFINITELY have it pinned long enough to find out and tell the rest of us how your new boat runs
