I have been running Suzuki motors since 2005. Currently running 175 on Alumacraft 185. Great set up best engine I have owned.
Im a new subscriber to the chennel. I love the videos. Im from south Louisiana and have a 2005 Nauticstar bay boat with a 140 Suzuki. I will say this; that is a very reliable motor. I do regular maintenance on it every year and it just continue to run.
Welcome brother! Love that 140
2004 df200 3000+ hrs commercial fishing. It sank once in salt water and it's still running today as a tender on lake winni. You couldn't pay me to run another outboard!
Can you do a video on some of the midrange offerings from the big outboard brands? You’ve touched on it a couple times in different videos, but I’d like to hear your thoughts on the 90-175hp motors, especially with their growing popularity. Thanks!
VROOM!!!! Been a Suzuki fan since 1988 (150 hp 12 plugs) early days! Tried to trick first one too much, second one is still running here on home Lake! A 1 Marine in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was the best early on!!!👍😎
Would have loved a more technical rundown comparing it to the Yamaha SHO. Like the oil bath timing chain vs. nylon timing belt in the Yamaha. Maybe in a future video?
Great idea!
I’d still like to hear about this. Is the SHO an interference engine?
Been to 3 shops. They all said Suzuki for durability. They also said it’s the only brand with hardly any recalls or problems. I’m sold
Bingo! That's the damn truth!
I owned a 250SS. Great outboard. Never had a days problems. Bought a 250SHO and had it on the same hull. The SHO is substantially more powerfull and also lighter on fuel.
How's the reliability on the sho?
Reliability means the mostest when your check depends on it. Even more so for the average guy that wants to fish with what little free time they have. ESPECIALLY when you consider the cost of a new rig.
Love your videos comparing boat and motor brands and your top 5 lists. Sounds like Suzuki is the real deal. Will definitely consider Suzuki on my next boat.
The Suzuki motors are the real deal holyfield! 👍🏻
Do it and you'll never run another outboard!
Another great vid... GREAT to see Adrian do a sit in and talk real talk running the Zuk... only got 15 hrs on my 250SS so far, but loving it already! I went with the 4 blade 14.5x29P prop and so far seeing 6000 rpms at 66.5 mph as best numbers. I have not tried raising motor yet, which is next as I think it's a little low, but need a buddy in boat to see if cav plate is sitting right at WOT.
Andy, tried to find info on the 3 blade Scorpion prop... I got an 06 Skeeter 20i... use to run T1-25P on my old HPDI... what Scorp should I look for? Sounds like the Scorp is the way to go... Thanks sir ~
VROOM. Great Team Talk on Suzuki outboard engines.............👏👏👏👏
Love the videos guys. Wish Adrian good luck this week. Cant wait to see more Champ videos.
WINNERS!!!!! Cooper Zumach & Shawn Taylor! Thank you to everyone who participated and be on the look out for the next giveaway
Andy, If you were buying a brand new Bass boat today..... What boat, motor and electronics would you choose and why? Just wanted to see your thoughts.
I was 1 of your officials at St Claire in '23. What setup did you have then?
Don't know if this means anything but I know my 1994 Mercury 200 EFI is still running, that's 27 years. I sold the boat in 1998 and the guy who bought it repowered it with a 2017 200 Optimax and my dealer took that 200 EFI on his Gambler Outlaw
Hey those kind of commitment are always good to hear normal it's the other way around thanks great video 👍👍👍
Thanks Adrian. Speed, Money, & No Brakes!
👍🏻👍🏻
you guys make great content!! this channel will be huge soon!!!
Thanks buddy! we appreciate your support!
I have been a Suzuki Dealer in New Zealand since 2009 and have NEVER done a warranty claim
I dont always agree with you but in this I have to, Suzuki is the finest motor ever made
Great reviews,best and honest reviews.
Will you do and smaller engines reviews(90,115,150hp)?
Greetings from Croatia
Thank you Daniel and hello to everybody in Croatia!! Yes we can do that for ya.
You can’t go wrong with the Suzuki I’m confident it will start every time
Awesome stuff. I just found this one. What super cool engine is Suzuki bring out this Friday
Always cool to see your expert information, I am replacing an evinrude g2 300hp with Suzuki 350 dual prop. Can you please post some detail with the comparison advantages. Thanks Simon
I own 2 suzuki outboards and i am 1000% happy and impressed. Unless they fall off the earth in quality i will never buy anything else.
As a private shop owner and the only mechanic, these are my choice of all the brands
I almost did my surg residency in Lacrosse. At Gunderson clinic.
Great video and can't wait to see what Suzuki comes out in the future!
Thanks BJ! The future is definitely going to be exciting
This was an entertaining infomercial.
Now if only Suzuki would send payment for it! Haha
Great video fellas! Where can we find the Scorpion? What pitch? Thanks!

VROOM I'd like some of that Suzuki swag! You all have me seriously considering a Suzuki for future. How do you like the 140?
The 140 is a solid motor!
I have a 140 Suzuki on my bay boat bought new in 2005. Its fished in salt and brackish water mostly. I still run this motor today. Very dependable motor. Never been in the shop except to repair a broken shaft when I smacked something underwater.
@@barrycelestine7809 thanks for the info!
I dont have a 250 but suzuki small engines 9.9-25hp are work horses!!!!! Couldn't be happier with my df25ats
Vroom Suziki is in the debate for the next engine I get!!!!
Heck yeah!
I have a BW Dauntless 16 that I want to repower and would love a Suzuki 115 but they are so much heavier than Merc or Yamaha.
Understandable, but in reality it's only 57 lbs more compared to the "Let's make everything out of plastic" Mercury 115! lol
Everyone wants the big engines., but I'm a small budget guy who needs a mid range (40 hp). Is there a suzuki video for us?
We could do a Suzuki 40 video for ya. We have sold, mounted and rigged a ton of them and they have all been rock solid.
@@TeamMarineService Wow! Thanks so much for replying! holy crap that would be awesome...but see down here in Georgia we run some wretched rivers and overpower our boats a smidge. Is it legal to put a 40hp on a 1442 alumacraft? (I've heard Suzuki requires a cert technician install) and if a 50 and 40 weight the same...why not go with a 50? Yes I'm serious.
I have a 2006 Sylvan 16 ft Sylvan with a Yamaha 50 2stroke and I would like to upgrade to max the 75 HP and go four stroke. I'd love to hear your take on Suzuki vs Yamaha at that hp limit.
I love my scorpion 3 blade on my merc pro xs 150
I would seriously consider a Suzuki on my BassCat. However in San Antonio, TX….. Who would work on my boat when it needs work? If Someone at Suzuki could answer this for me they would earn a customer!
The pros have enough confidence to travel all over the US without a dedicated support trailer and if they have the confidence to do that well that's enough for us. Suzuki's network is only going to further expand.
Love the info videos. I’m gonna be looking to re power my 97 champion 202 elite in the next year and would love to see the ss250 on the back of your return of the champ boat. Thanks again for the great info .
Awesome!!!
Vroom! I run Suzuki on both my boat. Could use some swag.
It's been a year... spill the beans Andy! Is zuk' coming out with a new 250 or different gearing!?
I’m a saltwater guide running Suzuki for the past five years. What’s the difference between the 250 and the 250ss also can I use the same controls?
QUESTION... I’m in TX, otherwise I would come to your shop and deal with you guys. I’m about to pull the trigger on the Suzuki 250 SS, but don’t necessarily have to have it until November. Is it worth the wait on the new Suzuki or should I go ahead with the current SS? Thanks guys and keep on rockin out some good content.
Ummmm if you can wait do it! We have a feeling like the new models are gonna blow you away!
Great video. I am curious how that scorpion prop would work on a alumacraft 205. Obviously way different style fishing boat than a bass boat
With a Suzuki? What pitch are you running now?
@@TeamMarineService i have the 250 ss with a 3x16x22 power tec prop on it now. It came with a 3x16x23 from dealer but full throttle rpm was way down
Something seems wrong here....what rpm's are you turning?
@@TeamMarineService wide open throttle with 2 people fully loaded is right at 6000 rpm. Its a 205 competitor sport so its a big deep aluminum boat
love my 25hp Suzuki on my 16 foot Lowe. I plan on getting a 209wt coastal vokey next yr, a local fiberglass brand, I was looking at either the 200ss or 200ap, not sure which one to get!
Great Video!!! My Pro XS goes VVVRRRRRRRRRROOOOOMM!
Just ordered a 2021 FXR21 where should i start on looking at props! Love your channel wish you guys were closer
250 SHO on the back? Start with a 25 or 26 of that's the case
@@TeamMarineService yeah it think they're sending it with a 25p yamaha prop. I imagine that will end up being a spare.
Been trying to decide what motor to put on my bass cat that is currently being built. Sounds Suzuki might be the answer. Just want something that I don’t have Dick with other than normal maintenance
Mercury prop on Suzuki motor. Torq master hub. A perfect solution.
VROOM!!! Now I am on the correct video!🤣
Vroom. I could use some of that gear. Got a new 2020 DF200SS.
What’s the difference between the 200SS and standard 200 other than matte black paint? 👍🏼
@@anthonymonte4885 Gear ratio: 2.00:1 (SS) vs 2.50:1 (standard).
Are you guys going to get back to random shop videos? Working on various motors and boat videos ? Goofing around ? Those are the best.
Shooting right now! 👍🏻
@@TeamMarineService atta boys/girls !!!
i am running the solas series 3 on my mariner 200 efi. the very first thing that i noticed is there is no slip in this prop. running a 23 p, at 5600 rpm, the gps is 67.8 mph. do the math, and there is no slip, and that translates to fuel economy.
Vroom great video thanks!!
Would a Scorpion help a Ranger with a SHO??
What Scorpion prop do you use for a Suzuki 250?
Size and model?
loved this vid and changed my mind to go suzuki. What was hinted about coming down the pipeline - what is it? (If already public)
Love the videos
Ok souzuki is the motor! Can I get a 115 show ?
Don't care of hp. Want to know which motor is the best. Reliable & durable
Suzuki #1 | Yamaha #2
@@TeamMarineService ok thanks for letting me know 👍💯
Wondering if you have any experience with a blazer 625 and a suzuki 250ss combo. Currently running the scorpion 27 on it and not super happy with the hole shot. The top end is great. Heard a few guys talk about a 31 bravo or 28 suzuki. Thanks for the video! Just subscribed to learn more about the suzuki motor cause it's new to me.
Old scorpion or new scorpion?
I am not entirely sure to be honest. How can I tell the difference?
The durability is great the issue we have is we put a 175hp on a 18ft triton and it struggles to run 60mph with a 27p prop because of the 2.50 gear ratio. Is there a gear set that can be swapped for the 175hp to get more top end
Non sponsored full price paying customers need reliability too.
nothing in the ss series for the smaller hp boats? no 225ss? big change in lower unit for better propping coming??
Great video , very informative, thanks , got a 2003 Lund Tyee 1950 , with a 9.9 kicker needs repower , has a 150 Evinrude thinking a 200 ss Suzuki 2023 model , will the extra weight will it affect handling etc , is that a good choice and if so what prop ? Recreational fisherman and pleasure riding with the wife , boat out of Lake Erie . Any remarks would be appreciated , thanks
What size scorpion prop are you running on that 250 SS if you don't mind me asking
Have you test a Sharrow prop?
We haven't tested one
I have a phoenix 721 with a new suzuki 250. 2 stroke pro xs blew up with less that 250hrs. Having a hard time finding a prop. Right now I have a 25p 3 blade, what’s the best prop size for a 721?
VROOM would like some of that free gear...
Can you get a scorpion prop on the Suzuki 175 SS? Brand new 2021 motor.
VROOM I need some Suzuki gear!
I would love to put a suzuki 60hp or 70hp on my 1971 starcraft 16 foot supersport
Heck Yeah!
On the reliability, is it just the 250? What about 150 and 200 or other horse power?
Reliable from the 2.5 hp to the 350 hp!
I have a 95' Tracker Party Barge Express 2400. it's basically a deck boat with a tunnel hull. I want a 150 Suzuki, do they make an SS in the 150.
What prop would be best for a 1997 Gambler Intemadator 19'3 with a Suzuki 200SS
Do you have a link to the prop to put on my Suzuki df140?
So you guys talk a lot about the scorpion prop so I was looking into them, what model of the brand are you using for bass boats? Solas, rubex, titan?I have 99 Champ 187 with a 175 merc efi!
Following
Just ordered this engine. Where can I look at this scorpion prop?
Try their website but they might be on backorder
@@TeamMarineService thanks. I didn’t know it was a Solas prop. I found it.
I have a 1990 Ranger 482v with 175 blackmax only going 57 with a 23 tempest at 5600 rpms .. I think my engine is getting tired hows the Suzuki 175 4 stroke do you think I could see 60 mph .. I am really thinking about doing the re power .
Yeah she could be getting wore out! Go check out the numbers of the Suzuki 150 SS compared to the Suzuki 175. Regardless you'll be touching 60
Over under over under....I see this and Suzuki sounds like a awesome motor, but how?
No one is offering it as a option.
Are we stuck purchasing a motor only too sell it to have a brand new boat repowered before it gets splashed.
Or do we just send stripped boats too you and have them final rigged?
Great Question Matthew!!! Most boat manufacturers have deals worked out with either Yamaha or Mercury but things are starting to change.
Suzuki df90? Good?
Yes!
sorry guys my English is not really good . can yoy tell me what propeller is that one that you are talking about
Hey Suzuki where are my Two DF175AF's ordered 6 weeks ago for my 25' Complete Refurbishment project? Where are my Engines tired of waiting>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What’s the gear ration for 2021 I’m hearing they are supper hard to prop.
Have a 20ft action craft bay boat with a 250ss and it tops at 59 no matter what prop I’ve tried but I think they’ve all been stern lift props ( 2 bravo 1’s and PT rkr4). Currently running a Suzuki 4 blade 24p. Rpms a little over 6k, you think a scorpion would have better results?
Try a 24p scorpion
Team Marine Service thanks man
Team Marine Service Are you speaking of the Solas Scorpion? Would you run that prop on a twin 27’ offshore setup with the DF200APX?
What about the 150 hp motors ?
I have the 115ss on a Alumacraft pro 185. I'm running 45 but it still feels like it want more. Which prop do you recommend?
What do you think of the non ss 250 Suzuki?
It's solid
@@TeamMarineService is there much difference from the SS? Appreciate your response
is the df 250 the same as the 250ss,if not what is the difference which one would you recommend
There is a difference in the computer and the tune. We'd recommend the SS on a bass boat
@@TeamMarineService does the ss stand for stainless steel,or what,I have a 24 foot bay boat exclusively saltwater
Hey man I need help learning how to set my jack plate on my 250 do I need to bring it lower or higher
VROOM!!
Can you put a tiller on the 115ss
Yes!
When is Suzuki dropping the new 250 engine?
It's a secret! ;)
@@TeamMarineService I'm just hoping it's out and on the back of my boat before the 2021 bass open season begins in February!
What's a good prop for a SHO 115? 17.5 aluminum boat? Currently runs great but not much speed gain in the last quarter of the throttle
Should also clarify that is a V multi species not bass boat
I want to see a Bullet vs Ballistic
They're very similar boats...we'd run a Ballistic personally
I was just wondering because they are built close to where I Live
We like both Bullets and Ballistics! 👍🏻
Have they released the new motor yet? Will it be a 250 hp? I am frustrated with my 2018 mercury 250 pro xs 2 stroke. I have a 2018 pheonix 721 and have already blown two powerheads under casual once a week fishing and 1 tournament a month. I've had my boat at a repair center since Feb 8th and mercury has not sent the parts and powerhead. I called Mercury yesterday and they claim they are back ordered on crankshafts since 2020. Super frustrated. I have no confidence in mercury and feel let down. I'm interested in Suzuki. I want reliability. Tired of getting stranded. I run the merc dfi oil and routine maintenance and it keeps blowing up! Its been the #6 piston both times. They state injector failure for the cause. Nothing more frustrating than buying a brand new boat and less than one year having a blown engine. More depressing is the replacement lasting 2 yrs 2 months before it decided to blow up
I have always thought Suzuki made a quality motor. I would easily consider Suzuki as an outboard motor.
They sure do!
