150 Vmax Break In HELP

[subseacarnage]

I have a new vmax and have not completed the break in yet and have had the alarm go off after taking off a couple times after a series of take offs. When the alarms goes off it sputters and I will stop and let it idle till it cools down and then it seems to be okay unti thye next time it does it. Is this normal?

Also I noticed on the break in that you have to premix the oil/gas in addition to the oil injection system. I have run it through the 3rd through 6th hour w/ out adding oil to the gas. There was about a 1/4 tank premixed gas in it before i filled it up. Is it possible that I have done any damage? Most of the hours were at low speeds since I was in a creek and wasnt familiar w/ the bottom and I probably have an actual hour of 3000rpm or more.

Well other than RPMs and the 3 oil level indications, The alarm that comes occasionally is for temp on the bottom left hand side.

"I was in a creek and wasnt familiar w/ the bottom"


If you found a lot of bottom that would be a problem with muck causeing a water flow problem

It is NOT normal

The muck from a creek bottom can cause the poppet valve to not seal properly and cause the problem.
