I waited until the end of the season. My dealer also said doing the 10hr wasn't absolutely critical to do it right at 10hrs. How many hrs are you going to go over?

Why wait? I can't think of any really good reason not to do what the manufacturer recommends, especially at that critical first 10hr service. Me personally, it would've driven me nuts knowing I'm running past that first 10hrs or so...but that's just me. Treat it right and it'll treat you right for many seasons to come.

Have any idea WHY they specify 10 (TEN) hours, for the first & initial oil change ?
They cannot be certain they get each engine block sparkling clean during assembly !
This way, the oil has helped "collect" all of the left-over material from machining of the block.
And subsequently, you get this "gunk out" before it can do any real damage.
Thought y'all might care to know this ~!
This is WHY it's necessary to also change the oil filter during the first oil change.

I think I'd go as @Rigger said. I could see going over a couple hours but not 10-20. Buy the oil suction pump and its easy to change the oil. Do the filters too as has been suggested. I agree, get the gunk out.

I agree with Uncle Mikey and Noko, do the 10 hr. Pay a dealer or do it yourself. It's not hard to do and you have a single engine boat which won't take long at all.
Think of all the metal shavings and other debris in the initial oil. Now imagine your shiny, new 1.8 liter miracle of marine engineering having to be replaced. Now go change the oil.
Plus doing the service yourself and lubricating all the pivot points and cables etc will really get you familiar with how the jet nozzle functions.
