I've got one put the 20 hp ecu in it and it will fly.you bought a great motor. ..I love mine

Yes thats in my future plans. Will remove the restrictor and will get the 20hp ecu 👍

I tried an Amita prop as well on my Suzuki, it had a squeeling noise coming from it. Couldn't stand it. Sweet motor man !

[@jemano14]

Where did you buy and how did you install the tachometer, I just bought a 2020 15hp and am going to break it in but would be nice to see the hours thank you very much! Beautiful engine!!! Looks great

[@laingej]

Got it from amazon. Its called hardline hr-8061-2 hourmeter/tachometer is very simple comes with one wire you have to wrap it around one of the spark plug wires and thats it.. has a 10 year battery. Comes with instructions

[@jemano14]

laingej wow thank you I appreciate it!!! Awesome engine you got there 👍🏻

[@SluSharkND]

Very helpful. Trying to decide which motor to buy. You are helping me make up my mind. Thank you.

Nice job curious to see how fast it pushes your boat. I can tell you are a good Boatsman very thorough calm and observant you are be safe brother!!

Thank you. He loves playing with the garden hose everytime ..😄

Good outboard! Haha, we are the ones who work hard on KZbin! I subscribed to your channel!

[@locker1325]

The 20 hp hack is a great value for the 9.9 Suzuki. Are you planning on installing one. I believe it costs several hundred dollars.

[@samsgarioto459]

great video mate, i have just got the 30 and will be putting one of those RPM meters on it as well. Looking forward to many hours of boating! Enjoy yours my friend.

Sounds amazing Quiet . Compared to my 4hp yamaha 1975 😂😂

[@laingej]

Lol

[@carloslandaverde6475]

Hi, thanks for your videos on this motor! I have the same but 9.9B, it does not have the green ingnition button. Do you know if it can be upgraded to electronic ignitio? What parts could I be missing? Also, can I start the motor up with the garden hose connected to the flush port for cooling or does the water have to enter the motor by the lower inlet on the shaft at the bottom?

[@Baywolf_films]

Love your video's! I just purchased a 2021 Suzukie 9.9. I saw that the manual says to take it to an authorized Suzuki maintenance to have the valve lash checked, oil filter replaced and timing belt replaced. Can you do a video on how those are done? I'm sure it's something we can do at home.

[@laingej]

Yes sure when the time comes i will do all that. I gotta do oil change in two months .. valve lash dont worry yet.. timing belt is due every 4 years so you only have to worry about oil + filter change for now. I will make videos.

[@Baywolf_films]

@@laingej Thanks for the reply. My owners manual says to have the valve lash checked after the first 20 hours or 1st month. Have you already put 20 hrs on the motor?

[@laingej]

@@Baywolf_films i know they say that but i didnt check them at 20 hrs.. unless you hear ticking sounds!? I didnt want to open it and do all the work to find out the valve lash on point. I skipped that and are going to check them in 2 months or so on the 12 month mark. I know mine ok, is up to you. I got 47 hrs on mine gotta change the engine oil+ filter and lower unit all in july.

[@mandalitten]

Very nice setup for a small engine!

[@philipkeena3005]

Hi could you please do a run through of your battery box in the future, very neat and tidy. What type of battery are you using? Great video!

[@laingej]

Its not a marine batt. Using a scooter battery 9-bs . The box is a plastic ammo box.. drilled holes rubber grommets and a usb 12v socket

[@bulaKurt]

Hey great videos , very thorough! I in inherited My 20 that looks brand new, It sat for awhile i put fresh gas in it , idols but wont accelerate for more than 15 sec. Than red light come on and it idols rough. I shut it off restart and it's fine, idols great.. it like fuel starvation, i tore everything apart , it all looks new ... and ideas would be appreciated.

[@laingej]

@Kurt hey what year model is it? fuel injected ? Did you check/change oil and filter., ? Make sure is peeing water good dont accelerate it in neutral too much ..it has a rev limiter maybe you reving to high red light come on.in gear you can rev higher. If it overheat red light come on too. If it sat for a while is good idea you replace fuel filter, engine oil and sparks.

[@HeWhoHath]

You’re extremely good at rigging stuff up. Question: I always use a smart charger in my garage to charge a nice big marine battery that I keep in my smoker craft. Will the charger on this motor effectively charge my marine battery? Will it know when to shut off etc.?

[@laingej]

Yes totally safe , builtin alternator will charge your marine battery 13.6 volts while running wont overcharge your battery if thats what you worried about.

[@dzep91]

Hey,Laingej nice engine, I’m looking to buy one but if you don’t mind me asking where did you get the water prof battery connectors?

[@chang69123]

Thanks for making this video. I am looking/trying to buy one.

[@dennislabrador3554]

Wow what a beauty... if u don't mind me asking how much is that beast? Thanks

[@laingej]

2700 to your door

[@fishtrooper9477]

I’m most likely getting the same engine... can you share any info on your battery box setup???

[@laingej]

Its not a marine battery .. its a 12v 9-bs battery inside a plastic ammo box. Can get all at walmart

[@reempire888]

Great motor! Any reason why you went with Suzuki 9.9 EFI over Tohatsu 9.9 EFI?

[@laingej]

I can upgrade to a 20hp easy and dont need a battery and suzuki is a more known brand i think thats why

[@kingsgirl1182]

I need one for my Bote Rover, great choice

[@christianbarner2811]

Great video. What battery did you buy that fits your ammo box?

[@laingej]

Scooter battery 9BS size

[@thatonebeone]

is it pretty easy to life quick and slap it on the stand and boat? under 100 pounds ? not sure if this is heavy due to the electric start

[@laingej]

Its 106 pounds. I have a video transporting it check it out.

[@agoodhi]

Do you use any external fuel filter, or filter the fuel before adding to tank, or just rely on the one under cowl?

[@tylerhennigan8465]

What engine dolly are you using? Thanks!

[@Labradorslobber]

Sweet mine gets here this week. Did you use 10w-40 marine oil? Having trouble finding it local.

[@laingej]

I used 10-40 yes not ecstar i couldnt find it localy either i used quicksilver

[@kalebgrieve1729]

Just use regular 10w40 if you can't find "marine oil" It will work as long as it meets the oil certifications , Api, GF6 etc, whatever manufacturer states. Same for lower unit oil, make sure it's correct weight and certification.

[@Joeilliano]

The low gear comes with oil? Or need added?

[@johnpark888]

Thinking of getting 2019 9.9 for my 14ft jon boat!!! Woth the money??

[@jimquantic]

Silly question, sorry. But will this run if you do not hook it to a battery? You know, like other small outboards I have owned, you hand pull the crank and they start and run

[@michaelchiciak2983]

I just bought the same motor to use a portable motor for my 15' Kaboat. The weight concerned me a bit as a portable motor, though I didn't want to downgrade to the 6hp carb. Is the weight a dealbreaker as far as portability?

[@laingej]

@michael its worth every pound! Its just 40 pounds heavier than the 6hp. EfI the way to go. I also considered getting the 6hp but im glad i didnt. Its a bit heavy but so much quieter. Two cylinders less vibration.. and way more powerfull as you can convert to 20hp

[@tylerhennigan8465]

About to order the same motor. What do you mean "convert to 20hp"?

[@bertreiger]

I think I have seen all your great movies but I have never seen you lift the Suzuki and mount it on the boat, the weight is at least 106 lb or 48 kg. Are you doing this alone? Do you have any handy tricks for that? What is your secret? I would like to buy the same engine but I'm a bit scared for my back. Thanks from the Netherlands.

[@laingej]

Yes i pick it up by my self i hurt my wrist once. Have to be careful i have a rolling cart roll the motor to the truck the when i inflate the boat i do so right next to the truck so the time i pick it up is like 2 seconds! Not bad i will show in a video. There is tricks yes

[@bradnewman13]

is that not a 12v staarting battery? how is it reading 13.8?

[@bucksutton8553]

Which onlineoutboards did you buy from??? The one in Singapore that has super low prices or the one based out of Tennessee??? I'm really nervous about buying online...

[@laingej]

Based in tennessee! Cumberland watersports inc. search them on google. I was skeptical too. But after reading all the google reviews from them i decided to buy. Highly recommend them. I dont trust that one from singapore!

Great Motors. I bought a 20hp short shaft from onlineoutboards.com. Excellent service! Moves my 14' fishing boat great!

[@laingej]

I tried the amita 3 11” pitch on my 9.9 and ran 18 mph but at 4400 rpm just doesnt have the torque to rev more and spin it faster

[@paultrim1995]

Have you considered that the oil capacity is half of that of a manufactured 20hp? And is that a worry.

[@laingej]

@paul engine oil capacity for the suzuki Efi 9.9-15 and 20 is the same around 1.1qts

Hi just wondering. Did you ever have a problem with fuel leaking out of the little pink hose (evaporator overflow fuel hose) under the engine by the trim, mine was overflowing drips of fuel as I am running my motor and not sure why, my engine is brand new? Thank you anything will help

[@laingej]

No mine doesnt leak..make sure the drain screw is tight on the fuel cooler. It shouldnt leak if the drain screw is closed might be loose i have another video showing how to drain the fuel out the pink hose

You said it is a 9-BS battery, but do you know which model and how many amps? Suzuki recommends 330amps (70 minutes) and 35AH, but I don't think your battery meets those specs and it still works well! www.suzukimarine.com.au/parts-and-servicing/top-5-outboard-maintenance-reminders/battery-specs/
