Really appreciate you putting the time and effort into this series. Just bought my Suzuki DF25A a few days ago and starting on the control cables today. Installed it on a 16' Jon boat.

Thank you. Got my motor on the boat yesterday. Looked at how the control cables would hookup, and couldn’t see anything. Saw where the connections must be but how to get there? Went to the installation manual = Take to dealer. Went to KZitem and there you were doing it way I figured it had to be done. Thanks again!

Thank you for the videos; like you I was amazed and frustrated by the lack of information in the "Installation Instructions", but unlike you, I was about to give up and try to schedule the local dealer to hook up the control cables and wiring. I suspect i will wind up having questions at some point as I proceed and will watch the relevant sections of Part 4 again. Thanks again!

@@thepauldixonOC Hah! So I received the cables but there were no cable end connectors. And the parts vendor says that the cable ends come on the motor. The motor vendor referred me to a different parts vendor. Did you get your cable ends with the motor or with the cables? Who is telling me the truth? I just want to get my boat in the water and go fishing! Speaking of which, if you and your family ever get up here to Vermont I'd be happy to take you out to dinner or take you fishing for your great help.

It’s frustrating that these modern fuel injected motors still need a physical throttle cable. It should be easy to run this by wire just like all of our modern cars. Very annoying and adds complexity.

Great Video!! thank you. I have this one (Suzuki 30 HP DF30ATL2) and you helped me install it. I saw that you also installed a Hydrofoil. Did that help? I have put one on previous motors and this being a four-stroke, it takes a while to get up on plane (17 foot, smoker craft all semi-full V aluminum hull) I guess that if it helps your boat it would probably help mine as well. Thanks again.

My transom on the boat is 15", so I ordered the 15" shaft model. However, my CMC jack plate raises the motor 2", which in total is 17". So, I was seeing cavitation and the hydrofoil helped with that problem. Not, sure if I noticed if it gets me on plane faster.

I got the DF20 and I gotta say, the Suzuki engineers sure didn't make it easy to change the oil and oil filter on these things. You have to pull both side cowlings off and remove plumbing just to get to the oil filter. They couldn't even figure out how to use a simple spin on motorcycle type oil filter instead you have a cartridge style filter. Real pain in the ass.
@thepauldixonOC
3 жыл бұрын
Have you tried just stabbing the oil filter with a screw driver and then you use that as handle to get leverage and spin it off. That's a trick I use on cars that don't have room for an oil filter wrench. Maybe I will take a video and try it out.....
