2022 Suzuki Outboard 20HP in White Unboxing and First Start Up

[@6___________99_____________64]

There is nothing better than unboxing a brand new engine. She looks great in white on that boat.

[@michaelpeck5547]

I love the white. I just got the Black 20 and started the break in process over the weekend. I got elec start and trim and man, is that convenient for me. This is my first Suzuki but so far so good. I have no regrets on the purchase so far.

[@DCFloridasport]

Great choice here mate, I just got my remote version of this in black with e-start and trim/tilt from OO...$5160 retail, shipped to my door, $3400, came with a beautiful control box, the maiden voyage is monday!

[@samuelhall4056]

Got a Tracker Guide V14 and picked up a new 20hp as well. Can't wait to give it a run soon!

[@J.W.W.]

I took the online outboard price to my local preferred dealer. He was able to match the price on the white 25 horse I want after he called his regional rep.

[@philos212]

Great video and helpful. Just ordered this same 20 hp white from Online Outboards yesterday. It will be my first real outboard. I have been using a trolling motor. My question is do I need to test it from home before using it on the boat?

[@Bandit_X]

I just got mine and tried to use muffs and it wouldnt suck in the water. I had to put pressure on the muffs to get a good seal. I ended up using a bucket.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

You chose wisely!😎

[@Booboosik]

This is so weird that they included first the 27oz oil notice and the no-muff, water level warning. I just bought the same white in mid Dec, same exact one. It did not come with any of such warnings. I was told my serial number puts the manufacture date around August '21.

[@ericsitizma7600]

I think it’s the specific dealer that put that on, not Suzuki. Doesn’t even make sense because where they say the water level should be to run Is like a foot above where the engine actually sits when on the boat in water, the 27 oz seemed accurate, but everything else doesn’t make sense, cool you picked up on it.

[@tlteal]

@@ericsitizma7600 my outboard didn't have any of those stupid stickers and I'm not sure why the heck I'd have to have the outobard in a barrel when the muffs do a fine job putting water exactly where it needs to be. NUTS!

[@aljohnson1191]

I just got the same motor from online outboards and they came with the same instructions saying not to use muffs. The owner’s manual doesn’t say anything about not using muffs, i think they just included the instructions saying don’t use muffs for liability reasons

[@alexopweg]

Very nice motor 👌

[@streetlife1355]

How long did it take to receive the motor after ordering?

[@old-patriot4509]

I'm confused. What is with the "no muffs" and "water to here" warnings??? Shouldn't the cav plate be even with the bottom of the transom??? That would put the water level near the same height as the cav plate, not 9" above it like the warning shows. Does this motor really have to sit that deep in the water, or does the warning only apply to running it in a barrel?

[@nicks1294]

Only running in a barrel. It’s just saying don’t run it on muffs out out of the water and to use a barrel / bucket deep enough to supply the water level as stated. Some engines need to be submerged deep to have proper back pressure. The motor can run very differently on muffs vs submerged in water, making you think the motor isn’t running properly

[@ericsitizma7600]

Yeah it makes no sense, it was put on by dealer. The motor definitely doesn’t need to sit that deep, even running in a barrel.

[@maxhudock9798]

What year is that tracker? I have a 2005 v14 it’s rated to 40hp I just ordered a 30hp tohatsu so we will see how that goes haha. Interesting I think you said that max on yours is 15

[@ericsitizma7600]

Honestly shocked by that. It’s a v14 guide 2012 and plate on on boat that says max hp 15. 2022 models have max hp of 20hp. Are u sure you have the model right? A 40 hp would probably bring the boat the boat to 40 or 50 mph, there’s no way haha

[@maxhudock9798]

@@ericsitizma7600 Yea the model is right lol yellow sticker says 40mph max on my boat, 4 people or 950 pounds. If you search 2005 tracker v14 boats.za.net shows the specs for the 05. Layout is different it has the open last two bench rows. Wonder why the difference. We’ll the 30hp should be here soon I will let you know how it goes, hoping to get up to 25-30mph.

[@maxhudock9798]

@@ericsitizma7600 the transom also sits higher on the 2005 it’s a 20” not sure if that’s has to do with it being able to have a bigger motor.

[@ericsitizma7600]

@@maxhudock9798 that’s awesome man, not sure how they come up with ratings. I think you will really like the engine, I’ve been nothing but impressed so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if you get more than 30. Let me know how you like her when you test it out!

[@gavindowley6942]

Was wonder what the dimensions are of your stand just purchased the same engine and want to build one. what are the brand of wheels too its perfect design nice job!

[@ericsitizma7600]

Here is a link to design I followed. Difference being i added a few boards underneath to attach wheels to, honestly any heavier duty caster wheels will do the job forums.iboats.com/threads/diy-outboard-stand-w-pictures.686606/

[@John_D2]

I wonder why they want the water so high ? It doesn't run that high on the water.

[@tlteal]

Did you end up having to put in lower oil or was it already in there when you bought it? BTw, I just got the 15hp EFI Zuki :)

[@ericsitizma7600]

Lower unit comes filled. Just have to verify that it’s at the proper level

[@tlteal]

@@ericsitizma7600 will do. Thank you very much for the quick response! BTW, I got my outboard from the same place... showed up in 3 days!

[@ks-bg5uk]

Hi, great motor. How is your outboard running? Have you taken it out on the water yet?

[@ericsitizma7600]

Yeah, one pull start every time, runs great, and brings boat to almost 30mph. Will be doing an on water review sometime this summer

[@richardr.528]

How big is the tracker boat

[@ericsitizma7600]

14ft, but It was originally standard 3 bench boat that I added a floor to

[@derrickcribb9930]

How fast did she go? thinking of getting the same motor

[@ericsitizma7600]

I have to say I’m really impressed with the motor, one pull start every time this year and I “trust it” if you know what I mean, no worries about if it will start or leave me stranded. Basically 1/2 throttle is ideal and bring me to 20 mph. At full throttle she goes just under 30 mph, although my boats small (14ft) it’s heavy with the floor I put in it and stuff. Happy as can be imo, go for it

[@chatchayapaipak5002]

What website did you order it from?

[@ericsitizma7600]

Onlineoutboards.com

[@chatchayapaipak5002]

Too bad they don’t ship to alaska

I just bought a DF15 from Anchorage Yamaha on Spenard. Only $173 more than lower 48 online prices for the same model.

a heat gun or hair dryer will help with removing the stickers.

No complaints other than the stickers they put on the engine that were hard to take off
