I got the same motor, just 80 hp. yesterday. Going to break it in tomorrow. Had a 50 hp. Evinrude 4 stroke from 1998, witch was a Suzuki under the cover. Did a litle over 5000 hours with it in saltwater. Never let me down once.

I never had a Suzuki out board but a buddy had a 9.9 on his 12 ft aluminum boat. Stone reliable. I did own 2 Suzuki motorcycles. A 1981 RM100 purchased new and a 1983 GS500ES bought used. Not one single mechanical failure over the lives of each bike. Suzuki builds excellent products.

Thanks for sharing your initial on the water start-up & break-in. I wanted a new E-TEC, or Zuke for a long time. My Rude '89 48-SPL is ticking... Maybe it's getting close to 60hp Zuke time. Enjoyed your video, keep rolling with good times on the water!!!

I like the quiet and power of the 4-stroke but I’m still old school I guess. Nice rig for that river though.

Haha. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mind the old 2 stroke..it definitely put in work. But...can't beat the benefits of the 4. Appreciate it.

2 Stroke is more powerfull and cheaper to maintain when it comes down to it but big problem is the only available new 2 stroke if it is available yet is the Rotax ghost 150 which I feel is not going to be around long quite a bit more torque from 2 stroke and no oil changes evinrude etec was also pretty quite bit sense brp decided to stop producing them not sure how long parts will really be available oem anyways etec is otherwise my favorite newer outboard otherwise I am still an older evinrude 3 cylinder looper fan but am definitely looking into a suzuki for my next boat heard alot of good things about them or a yamaha

you are really overthinking the break-in. too much idling will glaze up the cylinder walls and cause oil consumption issues later. idle for 20 minutes. let it cool completely. start up again and after warming up, full power to plane off. back off and cycle between 3000-4500rpm for about an hour. let cool then a few full rpm rips for 30 seconds or so for a few gallons of fuel and your good to go. your just bedding in the rings not bearings or anything else. good to go. beautiful motor that thing is extremely quite!

The computers on the new motors record the break in time and if you have to take it in for any kind of warranty work they scan the computer and look at what it recorded from the break in and if you didn't do what the manufacturer says it could void the warranty

Thinking about putting one of those on an 1860 g3. Think it would be too heavy?
@18thStateOutdoors
5 ай бұрын
Motor too heavy or boat too heavy? Not sure what you mean but...either way, I would say your fine. 1860 come factory with like a 40hp. So the 75 suzuki would definitely push it. As far as the motor being too heavy, the g3 is a bigge/heavier boat than mine and my boat is fine with the 75hp on it. Hope this answers your question.

I have a transom saver that I use while towing yes. If you are refering to any EXTRA support on the stern of the boat, due to the additional weight of the motor...no. The boat appears to be structurally sound. Knock on wood! Thanks for the comment.
