To start out, the boat is a tri-toon with a Mercury OptiMax 150 on it and both are new.
When i am accelerating sometimes there is a beeping alert around 6000 RPM. It seems like it comes on when raise the trim from all the way down to mid level or flat. (That makes me want to believe it is not the warning for the engine not getting water pumped in to cool it)
Also, when i go from neutral to forward and reverse there is a short grinding sound from the outboard when it engages. It only grinds for a second and then everything is great. Is that noise normal for engaging into fwd/reverse?
Since it is a 2 stroke can i run it at full throttle without damaging it? With a 24 foot tri-toon, what should be the top speed on glass?
Is there any break in period? If so what do i need to do? 87 octane? Anything else i should know about the 2 stroke? (besides oil)
I know there are lots of questions but i couldnt find the proper online forum. Thanks to all in advance for your answers!
