2024 Suzuki DF25A Break In Procedure

[@vb9300]

just got mine in april...cheap tach helped to keep it under the break in rpms. It is definitely a time consuming process.

[@KRBSTM]

Buddy I have the same motor and 32 mph is my max, you must have a heavy heavy boat!!! 😱 my boat is under 300 lbs.

[@trollin2021]

Yeah brochure says my boat is about 900lbs dry.

[@przemysaw124]

I bought a new SUZUKI DF15, can you advise me what fuel to use, E10 PB95 or E5 PB98?

[@trollin2021]

I would aways go with the fuel with the lowest ethanol rating so I would do the E5 98.

[@vb9300]

I searched for a local gas station that still sold reg 87 with no ethanol

@@trollin2021 I drained the oil from the Suzuki DF15 after about 10 hours. I left it in the bottle and after a few days a white precipitate formed from the oil at the bottom, a lot of it. What could it be and what cause could it be? New engine, only 10 hours old I also see that at high speeds, white smoke comes out of this nozzle near the cooling water nozzle

[@trollin2021]

@przemysaw124 I’m not sure about the white substance in your oil. I have emailed Suzuki Marine and before and they got back to me within my a few days so it might be worth shooting a photo of it over to them. Is the white smoke there as soon as you start the motor up or after it runs for a while?

[@przemysaw124]

@@trollin2021 Such a delicate smoke seems to appear later, but only at more than 3/4 throttle speed, because I already have 11 hours, so I allow myself to max out for a while.

[@przemysaw124]

Suzuki replied that E5 PB 98 may cause the engine to overheat at maximum speed and they recommend E10 PB95 fuel. What valuable comments can you recommend to help me get this Suzuki right? Bede was starting to do the first 20mth Can I safely transport it in the trunk on the designated transport side? Nothing will happen ?

[@trollin2021]

Suzuki would know best so trust what they say. As far as transportation the engine is marked on the side that it is safe to be laid on.

WHAT SIZE BOAT

[@trollin2021]

18.5ft aluminum fishing boat. Dry weight is just under 1000lbs.

[@foghole9449]

Big boat for a 25hp. I doubt you need that kicker, except maybe for an emergency. Nice video, good call on dropping a pitch.(or 3) keep her light.

[@trollin2021]

Yeah for the future I would recommend nothing less that a 40HP for a similar boat set up. Waiting on a OEM Suzuki 9 pitch to come in, that’s the smallest pitch available.
