Bit the bullet today, bought a 2008 Sea Hunt Escape. Hoping that the weather cooperates here in VA tomorrow so that I can take it for a run. The boat has a 150Hp Yamaha 4 stroke. This is my first OB, hoping that I can get some advise on some things:1. Do you need to fog the engine for winter storage? Dealer said they don't fog 4 strokes. Manual includes a fogging procedure.2. Can I put an inexpensive hour meter on that motor, doesn't have to be in the dash, could be under the console or elsewhere, would like this for maint purposes.3. Looking at the Yamaha manual, it says to break in under 2000 rpm for 1st hour, 3000 for 2nd and anything but prolonged WOT until 10 hrs. Dealer says it's OK to run it at any RPM (except WOT) as long as it varied. Who do I believe?4. Dealer said I have to get the first service done by a yamaha service center, after that I can do it myself. Warranty requirement, yes or no.Thanks
