Suzuki would know best so trust what they say. As far as transportation the engine is marked on the side that it is safe to be laid on.

I would aways go with the fuel with the lowest ethanol rating so I would do the E5 98.

I searched for a local gas station that still sold reg 87 with no ethanol

@@trollin2021 I drained the oil from the Suzuki DF15 after about 10 hours. I left it in the bottle and after a few days a white precipitate formed from the oil at the bottom, a lot of it. What could it be and what cause could it be? New engine, only 10 hours old I also see that at high speeds, white smoke comes out of this nozzle near the cooling water nozzle

@przemysaw124 I’m not sure about the white substance in your oil. I have emailed Suzuki Marine and before and they got back to me within my a few days so it might be worth shooting a photo of it over to them. Is the white smoke there as soon as you start the motor up or after it runs for a while?

@@trollin2021 Such a delicate smoke seems to appear later, but only at more than 3/4 throttle speed, because I already have 11 hours, so I allow myself to max out for a while.

18.5ft aluminum fishing boat. Dry weight is just under 1000lbs.

Big boat for a 25hp. I doubt you need that kicker, except maybe for an emergency. Nice video, good call on dropping a pitch.(or 3) keep her light.

Yeah for the future I would recommend nothing less that a 40HP for a similar boat set up. Waiting on a OEM Suzuki 9 pitch to come in, that’s the smallest pitch available.
