Tell me about Suzuki outboards

[Joeytier]

I've got an opportunity to score a great deal on a brand new non-current (2013) 9.9 Suzuki manual start. Having trouble finding much info on these newer motors. I understand Suzuki's to be a fairly reputable name in the world if outboards, at least with their older 2 strokes, but these 4 strokes I don't know much about. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Very reliable motor, friend of mine is using one for last couple years. Very happy with it.

[DRIFTER_016]

Haven't heard of any issues with Zukes.

Never owned one myself but anybody that has one is very happy with it.

Suzuki made the Johnson four strokes. They are a good motor. The only downside is that there are not as many dealers as Mercury or Yamaha.

[Joeytier]

I have a dealer about an hour south of me in Bonfield, which is where the motor is being sold from. Sounds like my decision is all but made. The motor is priced at $2000 for brand new non-current 9.9, which is good considering that I'm seeing 2-4 year old Merc 8 and 9.9's going for upwards of $2500!

Very reliable motor.

I've owned two Suzies.

1995 15 hp two stroke oil injected.

2001 15 hp four stroke.

Both were absolutely flawless.

No issues whatsoever.

Before I bought my used pontoon, I was looking at a new one with a 40hp Suzuki 4 stroke. I researched it and liked what I was hearing. I would buy a Suzuki. I didn't buy it because I cheaped out and went for a used boat.

[Big Cliff]

Well, don't know if this will help but I had a 1980 55hp oil injected. Sold it about 5 years ago now when I bought my new boat and motor and it was still running like a top!

I bought a non current 2008, 25 hp Suzuki In 2009 and got a 5 yr. warranty and I have never had an issue, runs like charm and easy on fuel. So if I were You I wouldn't hesitate. Mike

I've been using 115 HP 2 stroke Suzuki for several years on my Lund. Great motor...never a single issue with it.

I have a 70 hp 4 stroke Johnson(actually a suzuki) best motor I have ever owned,5 seasons with it ,it has been perfect.....if you do research you will find that there are very popular down in Austraila and the south pacific area.

[wormdunker]

My bud has a 40 hp, 4 stroke Suzy. Purrs like a singer sewing machine! Very easy on fuel. It is also very quiet. He has ran it 6 years now & never an issue. Jump on it!

[musky666]

I am hoping for good stuff from the Suzuki I just pulled the trigger on- if its as good ( or better) than my Yamaha I will be very happy!

[Lunatic]

when i bought my yamaha,i was looking at suzuki as well. ive heard nothing but good things about them but there are only 2 or 3 dealers in ontario i think. so if something happens while on a trip you could be SOL. which is the reason i bought the yammy

[musky666]

Thats about the only knock on 'em that I could find as well- was able to move up 25 hp for same money over the yamaha so seemed worthwhile. Small dealer near where I fish in North Bay, so hoping he can help if needed.

[fishindevil]
