[@1971mudnfun]

Dropped my boat off at Mutiny Marine today to get the 140 repowered on my 1989 Sea Nymph GLS195 today. They asked me why I chose the motor I did. Well my answer was Andy from Team Marine. They had no clue. Thank you Andy for all the information you provide us.

[@featherweight1910]

I lived on a Pacific island for a few years and bought an old catamaran with twin 2011 Suzuki 90a’s. The previous owner bought them used and had them shipped out there. The cowlings were beat and I checked the hours. Had the gauges that flashed to tell you the hours, and when I got them the flashes maxed out at 2040 hours plus. Did a basic service on them and those damn things never let me down, and I ran them hard fishing and diving. Cranked every morning, trolled all day, and they always got me home. Sipped fuel too.

[@rustedoakcraftsmanshop3308]

Suzuki for life. Cause the one you have will never fail brother! Love my ‘04 DF115. Boats rated for a 150 so maybe one day I’ll try the 140…….. whom i kidding, the existing 115 will outlive me! Maybe on the next boat??? 🤣

[@troybeans34]

2021 df50a blk/silver 700hrs and still going strong since day one.

[@mediaspeedfilms1334]

Awesome video Andy! I agree that all new Suzuki's are great

[@lovethedogsNC]

I am going to do 100+ miles down the Neuse river in NC on a DF140 and not worry for a moment! I had a 120 Looper that just refuses to die but I could not wait for the sheer greatness of a 4 stroke motor. 40 years messing with 2 strokes... Never again...lol

[@TeamMarineService]

Which Suzuki is your favorite?

[@davidking6663]

I’ve got a 22’ aluminum semi v to flat skiff being built that will have a df200a any input on a wheel for it?

[@seohoutdoors2796]

Iv had a 2000 model df30 tiller on a 17 ft flat bottom Iv beat the dog 💩 out of on small rivers. Logs, rocks, thick ice and I can’t believe I haven’t killed it. Launched the entire damn boat after hitting a tree wide open on the river and didn’t miss a beat. Great motor

[@Jerry-sy8rd]

I had a 115 two stroke… It was AMAZING in SO many ways. Thanks Suzuki! Maybe some day I’ll be able to buy another.

[@TheKodiakWay]

I went with the 300ap. Excited for electric everything, and a lil extra hp.

[@knightcustombuilds6988]

DT40, and the 25. Old school hole running motor. Love that DT25!

[@shaynezasimowich2394]

I've got an '09 225hp Zuke on my 235cc Sea Pro. Bought it used with 396hrs on it. Beenbgreat so far. My buddy has an 08 or 09 300 Zuke and he has over 3000hrs on it right now and still running charters here in the Chesapeake Bay. Suzuki has gained my trust. To me its Suzuki and Yamaha, and everyone else.

[@Colonel1Bravo]

I love Suzuki, absolute favorite above all other brands. Have a 175 currently, thank Goodness, never a peep or problem. Looking for a 50 for my next one on a extra boat. My dealer sells Suzuki, Yamaha, and Mercury. He said go Suzuki…I walked into the shop and asked 3 different mechanics in his shop and they all said the same thing. Both Yamaha and Mercury were headaches, their words. I have some experience with those brands and agree. Once you get a Suzuki you will not want anything else. Closest dealer to me is 200 miles away and that was fine with me. Bought it, never been to the shop

[@mrxlh]

The 140 is the hidden gem, HP to weight it beats all the 150s…..I love my DF115, it is a zero drama engine.

[@slkrick3319]

I just reached my one year anniversary with my 2021 Zuk Df70a and I absolutely love this motor. Zero issues and great on gas. Just wish I had gotten the Df90. Is it possible to tune my Df70a to a 90? There the same motor I believe it's just ECU and bigger manifold?

I have a DF90 on my 2016 Caravelle 19EBO. I'd love to put a 115 on it. I plan to trade soon as I can and get a center console boat. Definitely plan to get another Suzuki

[@raa8201]

I have a 2015 DF60 which I bought new on my skiff. Basically the same engine you have at #2. Operated in salt 100% of the time. Flushed after every use with dog ears. The shaft collar within the water pump well of the lower unit has eroded away 50%, probably due to salt. Motor operates/runs great. Just don't think the aluminum should be water eroding in an area that is made to have water in it. I've built the collar back up to stock height. Hope it lasts. 101 hours on it.

[@777BigMFishing]

I have the Suzuki DF300 APX5 I love it. Bad A Engine for professional fishing guides like me down here in the Heart of South Texas. We have harsh Saltwater salinity. Suzuki by far has the best anodes for our environment! Capt Marvin Engel

[@orlandoduran7740]

had a 2022 suzuki 20hp tiller in white, sexy looking little outboard for my skiff, sold the boat and now i have a 2018 90hp yamaha

[@jacobswell2533]

I have seen Suzuki 140 pushing a con rod from the side of the cylinder block. Twice/ but totally agre with DF50. Great 3 cylinder with highest compression in exsistance

[@TeamMarineService]

Wow that’s no good

[@waylonlevins]

Theirs modern four strokes are awesome, absolutely love my DF150. I think the honorable mention should be the old three cylinder, two-stroke DT25c. I’ve got a 1999 with thousands of hours, had to replace a CDI box bout ten years ago. Super dependable, and will run down just about any other 25 hp on the water.

[@Hillhouse_Fishing]

That would be one of my pics as well

[@midgebarker4022]

I believe in service schedules on whatever brand outbound you get. I like the Suzuki info.

[@chancekammerer1939]

I’m currently waiting for a 250ss to land at my dealer to repower my bay boat. If this motor will do what y’all say it’ll definitely do what I need here on the Texas coast! Thanks Mr. Andy!

[@brianoconnell6728]

Hi Andy. I am having a Suzuki 250 SS mounted on my boat next week. I based my decision largely due to your videos. I know you said that propping different for every boat but I was hoping you could get me in the ball park. I am putting it on a 2012 Nitro Z-9, 20'10" boat, wide and kinda heavy boat. Looking for a starting point in pitch for a Scorpion prop. Thanks, great videos.

[@mikeolson7188]

I've owned a couple Suzuki outboards back in the 2 stroke days and my DT140 was a great engine and the DT150SS ran pretty good aswell.i worked for a large Suzuki Motorcycle shop before I eventually opened up our Dealership.Had to sell Mariner/Merc and a few Yammies due to we had 2 Suzuki outboard shops that were relatively close and one of the owners threw a fit when he found out I was talking with several of the outboard manufacturer's,So Merc it was.We sold the shop back in 04 and although I truly do miss all of the nice customers,I however do not miss the stress and having all the weight on my shoulders keeping everything going.I really enjoy the shop vids Andy,they bring back fond memories.Keep up the good work fellas and I hope your friend Tom wins a few more tournaments,he is a great Brand Ambassador for Team Marine and Suzuki Outboards.

[@Pitchpullin5]

Thanks for doing these videos. Not many out there talking about Suzuki as much as you.

[@DizzyMan24]

I've never seen a Suzuki before. Up here in Northern Ontario, it's OMC or Mercury and it's mostly the older 2 strokes.

[@tdflooringtd]

Up until watching you Andy, I've only thought of Suzuki as a saltwater OB. Growing up in MO it was either Mercury or IB. Every Suzuki dirt bikes we had were turds, so I never paid attention I guess. My eyes are open now. Thank you

[@TeamMarineService]

Awesome!

[@BassGoneWilds]

Man do they make a 225ss suzuki. I'm not seeing one available. I want a suzuki. I have an etec 225 ho, never had any issues yet but I wanna move to a 4 stroke. What would it cost me to repower an 06 Ranger z20 with a new suzuki 225hp

[@jimjeffries5564]

waiting on my Gator Trax GT. It supposed to have Suzuki 200 SS

[@ScalesandFur]

I had a 2015 40hp suzuki tiller on a 14ft river boat and absolutely in love with it. I ended up selling it for a bigger boat. The time has come to upgrade again and I will be putting another suzuki on my new boat. Here's my question, is there any difference between 50 and 60 hp suzukis aside from tuning? I'm curious because I was to be slow enough at idle to troll down to 1.8-2.0mph without a bag or bucket.

[@gregorywhite9691]

What about THE 150 SS

[@Ugh_its_dat_guy86]

I've seen them 350s around here on the 25ft bay boats, absolute power house. I'm buying a 115ss to put on my 18ft center console when my local cam get one. Love suzuki but also a tohatsu fan boy too.

[@sha6mm]

You feel about that 250SS like I feel about my 2004 Johnson 30hp one or two pulls it starts from fishing to Duck Hunting starts easy even when I see the Bank clock says it’s in the teens F at Guttenburg IA

[@thewoodmansk5510]

I see a lot of people claiming that the 04 Johnson 140 four stroke is actually built by Suzuki. Is that the case. I have the Johnson on a boat I bought and am pleased with it , but it’s hard to find any information on.

[@yipikay899]

I buy a DF75A for summer 2023 for my little Wildcat 16'.🚤 I m so exiting to try it 😎

[@jaysutton6307]

sorry in advamce for the newb question, but thats what i am looking for our first new boat. can I ask why what you see the difference from 140 to 150 is? family alloy bowrider, isn't more hp better?

[@jeffporter100]

Really good info. You slipped up and mentioned batteries. Would love to hear an honest comparison on those.

[@valkyrie6926]

Hello Andy, I really like your videos! Very informative, & entertaining! I believe you know what your talking about and that the Suzuki’s are a very good brand! I had up till this year a 1996 Bayliner 1600 Capri with a 1995 75 hp Mariner motor. Bought all new, bought motor in 96 new and the Bayliner boat & trailer in 97 new. I had my motor put on my old 1967 glass master and the following year got the Bayliner boat & trailer & had the motor put on that one. One of my son’s took the Bayliner package this year. I bought a Stingray 182sc with a Suzuki 90 hp on it last year. It’s a 2020 year model. I put 14 hours on it last year. I got hurt back in March of this year so I have not gotten it to the lake this year. But I have ran it in the yard. Hoping to get it in the water this next summer. Anyway the 90 hp does ok on my boat. Got it up to 40. The same speed as the Bayliner with the 75 hp. It’s a bigger & heavier boat, I probably should have gotten the 115 hp but I got the boat, motor & trailer package out the door for $26000. Brand new. I couldn’t pass it up. It was special ordered and the guy didn’t take it. So that’s why I got it at such a great price. Anyway, just letting you know I really like you videos and content! Great job!👍

[@JhonnyBravo223]

I drive suzuki DF140AZL and suzuki DF90 (the old model), the difference between them is the HP, but they both have 2.0cc 90hp is like a truck, work well on a big boat (not really big) with more people, full or empty is the best

[@trueblue5534]

What do you think about the Suzuki 225. Just reposted my Kenner Vision 21’ and I previously had a Mercury optimax 150. I luv the motor and it’s got a lot of power.

[@kevingrimoldby9021]

I have a tracker 190tx. Its rated for 135 hp. Currently powered with a 2006 merc 2 stroke 90hp. Cant find any 135s being made today. Would you consider a 140 susuki on my boat? Does 5 hp over the rating really matter?

[@andyhauser9327]

Thanks to Vape for the drum roll! Haha

[@Bommaliadinarayana]

Suzuki DF140A time setup information can you please

[@chriscaddle]

Any thoughts on their 25HP

[@upmetalhead]

i will be putting a df300b on the new caymas dv 20 once it is released

[@texoma_outdoors]

Seriously looked at repowering my javelin with the 115ss this summer. Decided not to but it wasn't because of anything I didn't like about the motor

[@paulrix9790]

For real ?. Enjoy your show. Fun to watch! !! Was hopeful you may have a final step in picking a prop. At first was shopping for a Suzuki. I've had the, df 140a,,on a Kenner . Motor great, boat not so. Any way got hooked in to restoration of a 84 15 sport be, Was looking to buy a DF60A. Dealership sold me df60AV, MIX FEELING WEIGHT/ COLOR. I pulled the trigger, on the DF60AV. KINDA, happy but unsure how the extra weight with , 6" manual jack, was going to weigh out As you know ,,(A) no prop. AV with prop.,. Being a buy and fly deal, dealership held the door wide open, thanks no good by . Now , the motor w/ 11 x 14,, prop , revs. Out early pushing this 15 whaler, ? 15 knot's, . Looking to run approx. 40,+-. What kinda prop size comes to mind.

[@captnbass2]

Now put one on your 202 so I know for sure that’s the way I wanna go next spring. 👍😎

[@sea_knot]

You are so wrong, the best is df20a. It is amazing how they put in so small outboard so much performace. Outstanding engine!

[@TeamMarineService]

Haha sounds like you have one! 👍🏻🤔👍🏻

[@sea_knot]

@@TeamMarineService of course I have it, and I'm not kidding. any company can make a big and powerful engine, there is room to turn around. and you try to make a motor in so small 15/20 category that beats competitors and prev models on all counts, including the price.this motor is outstanding!

[@rpshaw8540]

Was hoping you would go old school. I'm rigging a 1986 Suzuki 150 Super Six (zero hours, never rigged, crate motor) on my Gator Trax Strike Series. I hope it works 😃

[@TeamMarineService]

Haha wow! Still in the crate?

[@rpshaw8540]

Andy, it was an estate sale in Grand Haven Mi. I'm driving up from VA the first week of Sep. Evidently they have a bunch of old outboards that have never been used.

[@JhonnyBravo223]

Also Suzuki DF250 dual propeller is one of the best, it fells like you are on a plane

[@benjaminbrown8759]

Would you do a vid about the older 2 stroke suzuki's from the 80' and 90's. Boating on a budget, are they good motors worth fixing/upkeeping. Looking specifically for the 20 to 90hp range.

[@PunkR0ckz09]

I know this is an older video, but I'd like your feedback on the Evinrude 70hp 4stroke from 2000 (E70PL4SS), what do you think about it? I believe it's a Suzuki powerhead, but what are the pros and cons, if you worked with that outboard in the past? Just bought one for one hell of a good deal (750$USD), needs a prop and a bit of work on the lower unit (the guy bent the skeg and ripped off a piece of the cavitation plate, but the internals are fine and it spins straight). Basically know nothing about 4 strokes. Repaired a few 2 stroke outboards before (only Johnson/Evinrude, did 1 Merc) Hoping I didn't buy a dud. Also, do you know of any ways to make it compatible with NMEA2000 or to have it linked to a sonar in another fashion? I bought a center console with no holes in it, would like to remain as clean as possible with only the remote, a sonar, a radio and a cup holder if possible.

[@Jerry-sy8rd]

Can we even BUY a 50hp these days. Just asking from north central Fl where they seem to be not there😢.

[@bjboothe8957]

I you ever talk to a Suzuki rep, can you please get the diameter and thread size of the drain plug for the Suzuki 250SS so I can get a Fumoto valve? Or recommend a Fumoto style valve for their outboards so it's easier and cleaner to change the oil on them like it is on the new Pro XS where you can hook a tube to the plug and drain straight into the bucket without a mess.
