Hi all,

 

Started looking at new outboard motors for our new boat and was wondering if any members are running a Suzuki DF150.

 

The choice is bewildering when you look into all the hype on the internet.

 

I like the chain cam arrangement the Suzuki as opposed to the Yamaha belt drive setup.

 

Any low down on the Suzuki service agents etc in Poole would be appreciated.

I’ve had a Suzuki 150 and a mercury 150.
Personally I preferred the mercury. Servicing was cheaper and it just seemed to have a better “pick up”(?) than the Suzuki .
Both great engines though. I don’t think there is really a bad engine these days !
Happy as always to be proven otherwise though !

we run a lot of Yamaha 80's at work without too many issues.

 

They are the mid range, IE same engine/block can be uprated to 100HP. We stick to the set up for 80HP as it stopped them getting trashed.

 

The Marines used the Suzuki 2 stroke 140's and they were OK. and boy could those lads trash kit.

I run  Suzuki DF70 and never had any issues, I've use Yellow Penguin and Saltwater Solutions, good service from both. Now it's out of warranty service it myself, using a Suzuki service kit.
