I bought a 238 Sea Pro in 2020 with a 300 on it, ive had some experience with Suzuki, i had a 06 Key West center console with a 140 on it, loved it, so i only have about 160 hours on the 300 but so far so good, i find them very easy to maintain, my 300 came with the 4 blade prop....

Thanks for the update, I remember your video when they were new. I had a pair of Suzuki 90s with 2000+ hours on them; few little sensor issues too but they never failed to start or get me home. Thinking Suzuki again to replace an old Yamaha on my current boat.

Thanks for the video. I purchased a new boat in April of 2021 with a 2021 300 hp Suzuki. It came with the C10 gauge unit. So far I am very happy with the Suzuki. I think it does very good on fuel, it is very quite and more then adequate for my boat. I have 235 hours on it and I have only had two issues. Both times it was the interface cable. The first time at 6 hours the fuel monitoring was way off. It turned out that the wrong cable was installed (not Suzuki's fault but Suzuki warrantied it). Second time was just last weekend. I lost all engine information on both the Chart Plotter and the C10 gauge. I'm told the cable is $130.00 plus the labor to install it. I agree with your assessment. Good motor. In all fairness, it is the only 4 stroke outboard motor that I have ever owned so the other brands could be just as good.

My wife and I bought a boat and went with a Suzuki. We like it so far, but I won't talk too loud yet as it's only three years old. I talk to people with Yamaha's, Mercury's and Honda's and I hear mainly good things about them all. (Mainly people trash talking the other brands) Good dealership and service is the most important.

I have a rib in the agean see, twin 300 Suzuki apx,, never had a problem and I made about 350 hours. So happy of them because in my opinion for long cruise that I do they are the best, no annoying noise, great fuel consumption, very good reliability… I don’t care if my engine just do few knots less than a mercury or Yamaha

I have a Suzuki Df40A. I had absolutely no knowledge of an engine and just introduced myself to my engine. I had to make it faster (for 7 USD) and my fuel pump coroded so I had to clean the tank behind the manofold. But my engine is 5 years old. Single engine on a 7 m or 21ft self build boat. And being so ignorant as I am I find my engine is really keeping up with me and is solid. Just ... I tested my boat with a 40 hp 2 stroke Yamaha which was much fastter. I make long trips 250 mls in open water and to have a reliabla engine with 0.5 liters on 1 km is not too bad. What I dont like is all these sensors and the blackbox .... because how would I repair this on the ocean. I love my engine but if it would have less electrical parts I would just feel better.

I reached out to you about five years ago because I was refurbing a 99 27 open and I asked about what props you were running. I have 2018 Suzuki 300s on mine as well and I love them. I’m at about 1100 hrs. on both motors now. I can honestly say I would do it all over again if I had to. Keep calm and fish on.

Also have a 96' 27 open. Old 300 optimax motors just crapped out on me. I just ordered new 300 suzukis also. Any insight on cruise speed and mpg? Also top speed? We do long range trips out of gulf and also hst out of Jax and St A. Tia

I cruise most efficiently around 30 to 32 mph and get about 2 mpg if I’m not too heavily loaded. I can get around 57 wide open and close to 60 light. Those Suzukis do high speed trolling soooo much better than my old two strokes. It’s not a struggle at all and I actually get around 1.6 to 1.7 doing 15 mph.

I'm ONLY a Year Late 😂 But.. I have a 2014 115 Suzuki on my Gator Trax boat.. The Only problem i had Related to the motor was a fuel leak from some part on the left side if your lookin at the motor from inside the boat.. an my boat sets so low in the water i DID get water through the vent.. The boat is only 16'' deep sittin flat on the ground an will float in 4'' So the vent is Pretty close.. i do have 2 water separators on it now an No Issues.. Gator trax boats are hand an custom built an EVERYTHANG is Extra so it didn't come with the external water separators..

Thank you! I think all the motors have gotten a lot better and a lot comes down to how the owner takes care of them and runs them. The Suzuki has been a lot more reliable that my previous Yamaha’s but it would’ve been interesting to see how newer Yamaha’s would have done in there place.

Yamaha and Suzuki are both great but the cost is less with Suzuki. And if you want a white engine Yamaha will charge you 10x more for that then Suzuki will. Mercury have had many issues but most of those engines are made by Tohatsu and those engines are very good, so why does the ones with Mercury stickers on them have issues?

It’s hard to compare engine to engine exactly and I’m sure both manufactures make good engines but I’ve personally had a better experience with Suzuki than with Yamaha. Parts and servicing has been cheaper and simpler. I got pricing for both Suzuki and Yamaha when I was originally looking to re power and the Suzuki was significantly less as well.

Those Suzuki engines give u 6 years n u have 2. I still have a quadzilla 500 Suzuki. Very hard to start but that quad destroys every banchee I see. I just ordered a 200 horsepower for my dad's 20-ft boat. They told me it would take 6 months to get here. I don't understand but I'm waiting they are great engines.
