The Suzuki probably has a taller gear ratio requiring a lower pitched prop. Sounded like it was lugging to me.

[@sdvten]

Something was not right with it. That 25hp 2cylinder yami comes from Yamaha with a 9 7/8 x11 1/4 prop so a 14 pitch likely is not right for that motor either.

[@centralcoastcamper9631]

The Suzuki is probably geared much different than the Yamaha's and not allowing the 14 inch pitch prop to turn at the best rpm range for top speed. Or else it just may be out of tune or just a very tired engine.

[@ElKlingo]

Using the same 14" prop isn't that comperable as the gear ratio on these outboards are not the same. The 3-cil Yamaha has 1.85 the 2-cil has 2.08 and the Suzuki 2.27 (not sure about the Suzuki)

[@dylanlivingston5024]

ElKlingo yes it is, because this is about the outboards themselves, not just the engines

3 cylinders best for torque, try 25hp 4 stroke also

[@jenniferprice6379]

There is a stop preventing the butterflies from opening all the way on purpose. If it is shaved off, the motor will be a 40 horsepower. However, my husband's Suzuki on a War Eagle 1542 flat-bottom with no jack plate runs 32 mph. You have something wrong with that motor. The three cylinder Suzuki is selling for as much now as when they were new here in Arkansas because they are that strong. Also, not every motor runs as efficiently with the same prop setup.

[@mikeelder9481]

I live in Batesville Arkansas. I also have a 1542 War Eagle with a 25 Johnson on it. It'll run about 26 mph with just me in it and just over 20 with 2 people.

[@jenniferprice6379]

Also, why is it so high out of the water. It is mounted higher than the other two were. How is the prop supposed to get a "bite" in the water when the prop is blowing out of the water.

Hello, as always very good video, I would only ask you to please tell me about the behavior in the gasoline consumption of the 3 engines. Thank you.

[@searider9922]

If the test was conduted to determine which is the fastest motor from al 3, the water test was conduced erroneously. To be fair which motor achieves the highest top end speed must reprop every motor tested to run at its middle wot revs factory stated while solo or 2 up testing. For that will need to install an induction tach to check max wot revs each motor achieved, then go for a prop maximization. You don't know if same 15 pitch prop used on all 3 motor is a good water performer for each one as don't know at which middle wot rpm each one is revving at. All motors must be 101% healthy and running strong. My 450 Rib powered with a 2 strokes 18 HP Tohatsu propped spot on will leave far behind any of those 3 motors which runs very slow to be 25 HP ones.

IT SEEMS, I'M NOT SURE, THAT THE THREE ENGINES WERE WITH THE PROPELLER TOO MUCH SUBMERGED. IT SEEMS THIS CLEAR, WITH THE LAST ONE, SUZUKI. I HAD ABOUT 20 MODELS OF THIS JON BOATS (HERE WE CALL "ALUMINUIM BOAT"), AND USED 15 AND 25 HP. THE POSITION OF THE PROPRELLER, IS VERY IMPORTANT; IF SUBMERGED, THE BOAT RUN "HEAVY" AND FUEL CONSUMPTION IS GREATER. IN THE OTHER HAND, WHEN THE BOT RUN "EASY" THE FUEL CONSUMPTION IS LOWER, SOMETIMES, VERY LOWER. THIS MAY BE SEEN, WHEN USING A PLANNING BOAT, MADE OF FIBERGLASS, WOOD OR ALUMINIUM. SUCH KIND OF BOAT, MUST RUN FAST, FOR THE PLANNING, IN OTHER WORDS, NEEDS A HIGH POWER TO RUN. AFTER THE PLANNING, GENERALLY AT 18 M/H, IF ONE USE THE POWER TRIM, THE BOAT MAY RUN FASTER, UP TO 4 M/H WITHOUT MOVE THE ACELERATION DEVICE. SIMILAR OCCURS WITH JON BOATS. THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE THE PROPELLER IS ADJUST TO WATER SURFACE.
