Breakin a marine engine is all the same. Inboard or outboard. Just fire it up on shore put the boat in the lake and start running the boat, not full throttle but 3/4 of full throttle. Main reason you have to do this is simply that the engine needs watercooling during the break in period. If you would do this on a stand the engine temperature will become too high and you'll destroy the engine. As for electronics I suggest to use a high torque servo for steering and for throttle you can use a standard servo.
