Just bought this same engine and found it impossible to raise it after lowering. Read the manual over and over and nothing worked. I finally googled can't raise Suzuki 2.5 hp outboard and your video came up. Turned the nut 1/4 turn and it solved the problem. I don't think I would have thought of that nut as the culprit and would eventually given up. Someone should notify Suzuki of this problem because it must be much more common than just a few. Again thanks for the solution it it was a lifesaver.
Glad this video helped! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. That is a fine motor and I have had great fun with it. Wish you all the best with it. Happy boating!
Thanks for the tip on the tilt! Mine was extremely difficult at first, until I loosened that nut. Love the outboard, it's quiet, light, and moves my Pelican Catch PWR 100 kayak with ease.
Glad it worked 😊 I never thought about that nut myself for a while and then at one point it hit me. It is a great outboard if you're using it for what it's meant to do. I wish I had a kayak, but may be one day 😊
Thank you soooo much for showing me how to adjust the tilt. I spent 3 hrs on it until I watched your video and with a half turn on the correct bolt, it freed up the tilt. Thanks. Dan
Thank you! Glad I could help. I'm fishing with an angler from Seattle here on the West Coast of India. He's doing pretty good on the barramundi here from the shore. Let me upload some videos of me fishing with him soon in my channel.
Thank you for the tips! I have this outboard and use it on a square stern, aluminum canoe. This motor is the perfect size for this and I love how quiet and easy to start it is. Best of luck in your backwater fishing! Great video and very nice outboard, we love it.
Thank you Dave! Had a blast in Goa/Goakarna with this rig. I just moved to Ireland. Will probably get a good Kayak here and see how I fare with it. Thanks again for watching this video and commenting. Happy boating!
Same motor. Problem with tilt lock not holding the engine up. Somehow the silver tilt lock lever had become bent. I may have hit a rock? Took off the bolt that retains that lever, put it in a vice and straightened the J Curve until it fit flush in the mount again. Tricky getting the little spring back on, but now it locks again when raised. Adjusted the tilt friction as suggested in this video. All good. Thx!
I'm so glad this video helped. Thank you for watching and commenting. It's a great motor. I hope that you have a good time on the water with your adventures 👍
@@KonkanFishing i am exploring what to buy 2.5 hp or 3 hp for better speed. The boat i want to use as emergency rescue purpose since a drowning accident happened earlier. Could you give your opinion
That depends on the recommended power for the motor for your watercraft. I don't think there'd be a big difference between 2.5 hp and 3 hp, but get something that's reliable like a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and such
Mahalo! I love my Suzuki 2.5 but I do recommend turning 'off' the fuel valve so you burn all the fuel off since the carburetor is very small & can get 'gummed' up!
@@KonkanFishing I am thinking the other way. Cut a hole on the chair and put a tall bucket with water through it. That way it also can act as a counterweight when you wanna tilt it up the other way.
@@vrr2201 gotcha now. That'll work 👍 Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 Waiting for the monsoon to pass through, which should be in a couple of weeks and I can get some good use out of this motor on my Intex Mariner 4 inflatable raft 😊
I don't have any leak. How old is yours? I turn off fuel and tighten the air vent before I tilt the motor, while I transport and store the motor. I turn the fuel and the air vent is on, just before starting the engine and turn it off when I'm back at the shore before tilting and/or removing the motor from the transom.
Nice video, can't wait to see the motor on your boat. Quick question though, can you run fuel directly from an external gas can with a hose or fuel line to the motor?
Thank you for your helpful video! The nut was tight on mine also. So, I have loosened the nut, but I still can’t get it to tilt UP. For tilting UP, must I press a tiny silver lever while also pulling the motor up at the same time? Or can it get tilted up without pressing any lever? Thanks.
You need to lift that lever before tilting up. I guess you must have figured that out by now anyway. Sorry about the late response. I was traveling a bit and haven't checked the messages in a while. Hope this helps.
Hi, this is a dumb question but when I put it in idle for the first five minutes of starting it cold, what does the idle look like on the throttle handle? Is it the picture that resembles the symbol of the choke? Or do I just leave it in the start position (between the speed and choke symbol)?
I dont live in karwar i live in vishakhapatnam but might visit in the next 5 or 6 months evan during these times as its a naval area and living in the naval mess should be safe.we thought of doing this because there is plenty of space inside of the naval area to fish. And also i will tell you about the contact in a future video or mabye in this video in the future because i am in school but this was my dads idea and i love your videos
hi im the one who is coming to karwar this is my acount that one was my mothers and i will tell you about the contact when we are sure that ganna come and everything is planned

Congratulations Maruthu! Hoping to see some good fish caught on this setup! Always, safety first too!
Thank you Om!
We'll be taking it out for the first time this Sunday (Annette's birthday). Yes, will be wearing life vest all the time onboard.

That's so nice of you to say that. Thank you for believing that. I'll try my best 🙏
Excellent video thanks
Thank you!
I love how you tested it on a high rise apartment balcony. I’m looking at the same motor. Hope it works out for you.
Thank you and it's a nice motor. I just moved to the shore and I'll be using it more often now in the backwaters. Will try to get more videos of it.
I have this motor too, worth every penny
Yes it is
Good work Maruthu 😍😍waiting for action 👍👍🎣
Thank you 😊
Awesome ... Best of luck. Hope you catch lots of fish..👍
Thank you 😊
Maruthu... Congratulations 👏 tight lines 🎣👍
Thank you buddy 😊
Nice outboard engine. Hope to see you with big boat in deep sea soon. :)
Thank you! I'll not be taking this to the open ocean, but will be doing a lot of fishing on the backwaters. Let's see how this turns out.
Good explanation. Thank you
Thank you 🙏

All this time the frikking chair was in front of me and I didn't get the idea to mount the motor on it until I watched your video lol.
Just make sure there is enough counter weight on the chair, or the motor can fall 😊

Nice. Thank you. I have the same outboard. I'm having a gas leak and I don't know why. I tried tightening all the tubes and it still leaks.
I don't have any leak. How old is yours?

Nice video, can't wait to see the motor on your boat. Quick question though, can you run fuel directly from an external gas can with a hose or fuel line to the motor?
Thank you! No, you can only use the inbuilt tank
Actually there is a mod on UA-cam that shows everything you need to add an external gas tank.
Si può andare a marcia indietro girando il fuoribordo al contrario? O entra l'acqua dallo spruzzo dello scarico raffreddamento?

Hey buddy. Nice video. Could you let me know the price and from where you bought this machine?
Thank you! I bought this in Pondicherry from Ram. His contact number is +919790475537 ... Hope that helps!
HI Buddy please share your purchase details of Suzuki 2.5. Do you need a liscense to use this boat? Regards Abhinandan
Hi, this is a dumb question but when I put it in idle for the first five minutes of starting it cold, what does the idle look like on the throttle handle? Is it the picture that resembles the symbol of the choke? Or do I just leave it in the start position (between the speed and choke symbol)?
Just leave it in the lowest throttle and in neutral. That's idle 😊
@@KonkanFishing I'll try it today, thanks!!
Cool man 👍
Almost dropped it there right at the end... dintcha 🤣lol
Lol! I almost did 😁
hi! is this the short shaft motor? I'm trying to decide on short or long shaft
This is the Suzuki DF 2.5. I'm not sure if there is an option with getting them in long/short shaft.
Can you please say what is the price for this engine and is it sutaible for 20feet fibre boat
You can use it on a 20' fibre boat as long as it is one of those narrow ones less than 3' wide. I paid a little over 50K INR for this motor.
Hi Sir,
Could you tell me where you bought the OBM ? Also what is the weight of this OBM ?
Hi, this motor weighs about 14 Kilos. I bought this from Mr.Ram in Pondicherry. You can contact him at +919790475537
@@KonkanFishing Thanks!!!
Could you please let me know what's the price of this and where can I buy it?
I bought this in Pondicherry for around 50 thousand rupees
may i know the price of that outboard engine and a dealer location where i can buy it from
Yes, I paid around 50K
You can contact +919790475537
What do you think about the fishing in karwar
That stretch all the way down till Kumta is good for fishing.
What about the whole naval area with the break waters,rocky areas and the wave less beaches and boat jetties
Those places should be good, but I wonder if they'll allow anyone to fish there.
Don't worry I've already taken care of that
Then you should have a great time fishing those pristine waters 👍
Che secchio hai usato?
Era più di un barile
How much does it cost?
I paid about 50K rupees
Would you like to join us if we come in the future to karwar
