I love these little motors. Iʻve owned mine since new in 2008. One time a rogue wave swamped my canoe, and my motor sucked in some seawater, and bent a valve stem. Ordering new parts was easy, and so was the repairs. Just make sure you have inch-pounds torque wrench. Recently my kill switch fell apart, but an aftermarket one on Amazon had her working like a charm in 30 minutes. I highly recommend these motors. Made in Thailand to Japanese Suzuki standards so a nice quality affordable motor.

[@ChrisBusy]

I give you my highest compliment for a product review! You are to the point with the highest level of mechanical common sense while withholding common subjective opinion... Great job show everyone how a proper breaking should be done and reminding those doubting souls that it's done a certain way for a reason... Drive it like you stole it isn't always the proper answer 🙏 BRAVO! 😊

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Steve's the man!! Always passing down knowledge. Especially for us kayak anglers. And today just about every small craft is running a small outboard. Awesome stuff Steve. 😎 🌊 🎣

[@wjstewdog]

Great video Suzuki should be paying you.

[@wegottafishdude]

New toys are always fun

[@Gator_Bait_Motorsports]

I bought a Suzuki 2.5 to use on my Sea Eagle 285 inflatable pontoon boat. These are great little motors for the money. I highly recommend them. I broke mine in like you did.

[@dennistani1986]

Steve, those Suzuki motors are excellent! My friend just bought a 300 HP Suzuki for her boat, runs great! Take care and keep making your great content.

[@benjamincarter9726]

Just bought my 2nd 2.5 Suzuki. Great video, super helpful!

[@TheDomin8rr]

Excellent! I'd like to recommend if I could to spray down entire everything, every crack, crevice, hole, & moving part below the cowling with some CRC fogging oil or WD-40 shower after fresh water flush & wash down. That is my regiment between every use & has served me well over the years to prevent salt build-up or corrosion.

[@JimmyJammer1]

After your first start up session, running the fuel totally out of motor leaves your new motor unlubed and unprotected by running it dry. Probably didn’t hurt it however leaving that step out in the future might be more beneficial.

[@eduffy4937]

There is no oil in the gas so it will not hurt anything. During break in you are burnishing and lapping parts together so it will not hurt anything to run it out of fuel.

[@rodcurtis6142]

Great video I am going to purchase a new one very soon and your videos are very informative thanks for doing it !!

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome, Steve

[@stevestarr7229]

Thank you, excellent tutorial, much. appreciated!

[@hectorcorral2419]

hello i just wanting to thankyou for your time making these videos, i just got a old Elgin aluminum 12 foot boat then found a df2.5 Suzuki motor i follow your instruction on how to break in motor ,later today will take to lake kaweah in Visalia Cal and see how it works thanks again sincerly Hector PS my first boat ever LOL

[@user-dt3ym4wg7b]

I sincerely appreciate the way you explained the instructions. I am also comparing it to the instructions manual. One question I have is, you never mentioned estimation on speed miles per hour. Although I know different boats would have different effects. In my case I have an eight foot Jon boat. I’m not at full break In yet. But so far I’m getting 4.8 miles per hour at half throttle. I’m hoping by the time I’m done. My Suzuki 2.5 would go a little faster. 6 or 7 miles per hour. I called Suzuki customer service and was told possibly 8 miles per hour. But I doubt that. Any thank you for the video, I watched it several times Sincerely Roberto

[@eugeneweeks3325]

He has the 2.5 Suzuki bone yard there. I see a total of 4. Steve is 2.5 Suzuki Guru!

[@11ccom]

Sounds like you know motors. I worked at the Boat House and Duck Key marina.

[@justinjones5302]

I want to buy a tandem kayak and do the outrigger myself for it. I have a 2.5 and a 6 gallon tank. I can't wait to see how far I can go with it

[@user-cn8km8ib7u]

Steve...do you have a video of HOW YOU MOUNTED YOUR SUZUKI?

[@mekox]

Around where i live, its hard to find oil for boats. Is it okay to use regular car oil?

[@NinoSpinner]

Ciao, il mio fuoribordo non ha la pompa della benzina, la pompa di questo 2.5 com'è installata? Ha solo 2 tubi uno di entrata e uno in uscita?

[@seankang8448]

Hi Steve, I just bought the suzuki 2.5hp for my rev 13 and wondering how do you calculate the fishing trip? Let say 3/4 throttle, how much distance do you normally cover with full tank(1 liter)?

[@779RosaPhilipovna]

Shoot. I put 14oz of oil in my brand new motor…that was my understanding from manual. Now I know it was only supposed to be 7oz. I hope the motor isn’t ruined. How often do you recommend I drain oil and replace with the 7oz of oil? Is it at all like a car- where sometimes it just needs a tad of oil added rather than full drain and replace, or no?

[@pakofishing]

I thought the manual said 5 minutes on neutral in idle with arrow just by the lowest speed and start position and then 15 minutes in gear (Forward?) in the same speed setting. That's what I did... Hopefully didn't mess it up?

[@johnq.public2621]

😀👍👏👏👏

[@bmak7874]

👍🏻💯

[@cameroneagle4370]

do you have a promo code for the esky rods ?

[@anonymousltarmy3633]

👊🔥😎

[@stephenhill4083]

Hi Steve. Your vid is excellent, surpassing factory recommendations. I just put a deposit down on a 2022 for a great price. I'm looking forward to using. One thing. It seems you have four Suzuki 2.5 outboards. Why?

[@eduffy4937]

Gear rentals

[@mmeneses5782]

Hello fellow Conch, can I purchased the little kicker in town?

[@suprmnjl]

Im dying for a video on how to change the impeller. I have to do mine :(

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

Fast forward to 5:30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3uYpI2eh72fe80

[@eduffy4937]

Take 2 bolt off the lower unit slide it off. Open impeller housing, slide it off the shaft. Swap parts, reassemble. Should take less than 15mins

[@timothycreamer8610]

Do you have to use Suzuki oil for the warranty to be honored?

[@eduffy4937]

No. Any Maine rated oil is sufficient. Do not use synthetic though as it's too slick and break in will not be fully achieved.

[@mohamedmadjidi1861]

I like your videos, is it possible to have the video with the translator in French, because I have been following you for a very long time and most of the time I do not understand your language, I am French and I live in Mayotte.

[@reckyvictor3605]

is that an expensive kayak?

[@2ssfbbh]

Miss those jigging videos.

[@cameroneagle4370]

is an outboard suppose to be peeing all the time while in use ? does the pee have to be above the water, or is it ok if it sits below the water

[@driftlesshermit9731]

Yes, it should be squirting all the time. If it goes under the waterline, you might want to go on a diet.

[@cameroneagle4370]

but i just want to put it on and go , you mean i have to change the oil before ever using it ? well thats not fun.
