[@perfectfitboating]

Gracias mi bro! 🙏 En el mar nos vemos! 🤙

[@2BearsOutdoors]

This is great!!!! Well done!!❤️ Apparently I'd Missed the alert of your previous video with the AC, which I will be watching in a bit. Blessings to ya both.

[@perfectfitboating]

🙏thank you brother! KZbin is weird that way. We have an alert set for all our boat peeps and sometimes we get them sometimes we don’t!🤷🏻‍♂️

[@2BearsOutdoors]

@@perfectfitboating Yeah! I get an alert on the last video you've made. I was like "cool! it's been a while since they have posted a video" then I see the long list of videos ya had posted that I've haven't seen.. Saw you fishing one last night on the big screen. I will comment on that today, also a great video. The preparation cooking was awesome!

[@SalvatoreFeudi]

I like the DIY videos you guys create. They are simple and to the point. Andres does a good job with narrations. Keep up the great work.

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you so much for that! Just trying to get better so others can learn too! 🤙🛥️🌊

[@diywaterworld]

Such a value packed video! Great info, well presented and great up close video. Awesome job and thank you for sharing!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you for your continued support brother! We appreciate you! 🤙

[@jorgecespino5743]

No, I found out and it’s only 5.8 qts. Looking into a lot of posible options. It will take time, as the boat will need a lot of TLC and $$$$ to get it back to navigating conditions. It’s been sitting for two years untouched. The boat is in Miami and I’m having it towed down to first take off the existing motor and have it ready for a new rigging. I lot needs to go in before we have an existing operational boat, but we will get there, just like you did. 👍 Keep on posting those very educational videos, you’ve both done a great job.

[@aeroscout8409]

Thanks for another straight forward, simply explained video brother.

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you my man! 🤙

[@KeysBoatingChannel]

Great Info Video! Clear Step by Step Excellent! Peace from the Keys!

[@perfectfitboating]

🙏 thank you my man! We appreciate you! 🤙 hopefully this weather clears up soon. We need to make a trip down to hang with you and @2bearsoutdoors

[@KeysBoatingChannel]

Anytime my Brother. It would be a pleasure!

[@jorgecespino5743]

Greet tip of n how to do the 29 hour services and save some $$$. Thanks ! I wonder if a 115HP takes the same 8.5 Qts., of oil?

[@perfectfitboating]

I think it might be the same Jorge I’m not too sure! 🌊🤙🛥️

[@airtimeexpressmark8937]

Good job..I wish all DYI KZbinrs explained steps as well as you did!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you so much I really appreciate that! And thank you for commenting! 🤙

[@frederickdavis3165]

Thanks for the knowledge on these I purchased the df200 with about 310 hrs runs like a champ but need info on how to do this oil change thanks again

[@perfectfitboating]

No problem! Glad the video could help! Goodluck!🤙

[@nickvitobovino3486]

So on the lower unit there is two overflowing plugs, what is the top left one oil plug for? Great video thank you for sharing

[@perfectfitboating]

Thanks Nick! The upper most plug is supposedly a vent plug or a plug for filling if you don’t have a pump. Hope that helps! 🌊🤙🛥️

[@nickvitobovino3486]

Awesome thank you for your quick reply back. Huge help.

[@perfectfitboating]

No problem! 🌊🛥️🤙

[@fishingwithwigs]

AWESOME with a capital A! Perfect video! Thank you, I’m gonna subscribe!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you brother we really appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤙

[@moconno1]

Good stuff. Just spent over $900 for service on my 2020 DF 140. They didn’t even grease the fittings! Save your $👍

[@perfectfitboating]

Geeeeez! Gotta try and save where we can! Thank you! 🤙

[@KIWI_ADVENTURES]

Very nice video and well explained!!! 💯

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you brother we appreciate your support!🤙

[@ewright444]

Do I need to warm up my engine before draining the oil or can I do it on a cold engine?

[@perfectfitboating]

No, that’s not necessary. You also don’t want to burn yourself with hot oil so doing it cold is just fine! 🤙

[@KhanhNguyen-qr1gy]

well done, very helpful video!!

[@perfectfitboating]

Glad it I could help! Thank you so much for watching! 🤙🛥️🌊

[@samhoppenbrouwer7938]

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you Sam! And thank you for watching! 🤙

[@Jhwright07]

Great job!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you! 🤙

[@frederickdavis3165]

Have you had good experience with Suzuki engines dependability etc!

[@perfectfitboating]

Absolutely. It’s never let us down. Fuel usage is incredible. It’s not a speed demon like a merc for example. But it’s also not as expensive as one or even a Yamaha. Here are some numbers: Cruise speed: 4,100-4,200 rpm’s 29-30 mph. If it’s flat calm it’ll hit 30mph at 4,000 rpm Max speed 47mph Fully loaded with fuel, gear and food we averaged 3mpg on a 220 mile trip to the keys. We’re very happy to say the least! 🤙

[@Pinellasbroker]

Did you just buy this Suzuki for the Grady White?

[@perfectfitboating]

Yes sir! We bought it about 2 months ago! Loving it so far! 🤙

[@Cybersamuraidave]

Great video but the link sucks. Doesn't take me to the parts

[@perfectfitboating]

Hey David! Thanks for commenting and watching. And thanks for letting me know. Sometimes links for Amazon change on their own. I’ll get it fixed for you.🤙

[@ChrisGatorfan]

When refilling the gear lube lower unit oil, spin the prop several times after the oil seeps out of the hole. Then continue filling (several more pumps) until it seeps out again. THAT'S when you know there's enough oil in the lower unit..

[@perfectfitboating]

Great tip! Thank you! 🌊🤙🛥️

[@ChrisGatorfan]

@@perfectfitboating You're welcome. I wish I could take credit for it, but I saw it on another video.

[@perfectfitboating]

That’s what’s great about this platform. We can all learn from each other. 🛥️🌊🤙

[@ingoodmusic]

looks simple

[@perfectfitboating]

Pretty straightforward!

[@larryjohnson5597]

Nice now we need a video of you hunting tuna 🍣

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you so much Larry! That’ll be coming soon! I think the wahoo are starting to show up! 🤙

[@jungletension2835]

350 bucks really? Mine is due for the 20 hour service and guess how much daybreak marine in Pensacola Florida wants to do it for? How about $800 yes, 800 bucks I bought the stuff myself online for 150 bucks. They can kiss my Prop shaft Daybreak marine

[@perfectfitboating]

That’s an insane! For a service!?!?

[@jungletension2835]

@@perfectfitboating I can only feel for the people that keep their boats there They are rack them and Stack them indoor boat facility on the water. Also imagine the people that don’t have a choice. They have to use them for service. My boat on a trailer I can do whatever I want whenever I want to it

[@perfectfitboating]

@jungletension2835 we’re with you on that man. Boat on trailer. Do what we can ourselves. Those guys must have money to burn.
