The Suzuki 25hp. Is the most reliable motor in its class . Good choice
It's been an amazing motor- 30 hrs. Doing great
Last year I did the same thing last year, I purchased a Starcraft Alaskan 15, I ordered the Suzuki 25hp manual start for simplicity and I live and boat at 5000' in CO with me alone my 270LB boat hits 25MPH, I really love my motor!!! I've had 8 M/C's and my Suzuki was my favorite, they make the best stuff, you did good buddy!
It's some dead weight for sure. Not portable for sure.
Yeah, I think it pays to rig your own motor and do it your own way. I got some vids doing 29-30 mph on gps. I do like the Alaskan also !
I have the same outboard remote model. It’s pretty awesome

I WISHI HAD GOTTEN THAT ONE, BUT IM GETTING USED TO THE TILLER. I LOVE THIS MOTOR !
Suzukis are good engines. I just purchased a 30 hp electric start power tilt tiller for my 91 15 ft Smoker craft Alaskan.
I wish I could have gotten the 30, but my transom being g for a 15 shaft prevents red that. The Alaska is a great boat ! I'm sure the 30 will do it justice
Whats yours top out at with you alone in the boat? I hit 25 at 5000' I had to put sand bags up front or she just goes crazy dangerous so now she hits 24mph, I love my Alaskan 15 too BTW!

I haven't had the chance to load up the bow and do a solo run. I tried empty and almost dunked the transom under water. Won't try that again until I properly load the bow.
@@johnspooner4128 I don't know yet. I have not completely finished the break in. Nor have I been in the boat alone. I did however move my fuel tank and battery to the bow.
Jeff, I will probably go with the 30. I have a friend who has a 40 on his and it sits way to ass heavy (230 LBS or 140 KG). I will build an aluminum adjustable jack plate that I have currently mocked up in cardboard. The issue people run into with the catamaran hull is the turbulence created by the sponsons and finding the sweet spot for the engine cavitation plate.There is a keel that runs down the center of the tunnel hull which I am sure was developed to provide more laminar flow to resolve cavitation problems created by the sponsons on cat boats. Ideally, I need to set the cavitation plate even with the bottom of the keel but there may be some fine tuning depending on the loading in the boat and sea conditions. Our water access is the Sailish Sea, Straits of Juan de Fuca, and the Pacific Ocean so the sea and weather conditions are continuously changing. I will utilize a 20" long shaft as when we get into a 4' to 6' swell off shore there is a tendency to have engine ride too high when cresting swells and cavitation results, so the engine needs to be set deeper for those conditions.Yep, there are a bunch of folks here who run skiffs off shore, just choose your weather carefully. It is about 12 to 15 miles across the straits to Canada and the sea state in the straits often mimics the ocean. The catamaran hull lends itself to incredible stability in these sea states. There are periods of time especially in the summer when high pressure sets in and this area is like a lake. Go at first light as the wind usually comes up after lunch and things change quickly. So, recognizing all the variances, it is probably a good idea to have more HP to get home. I have wrestled with this decision for awhile so thanks for your input as It confirms that the 20 is too small for my application. I enjoyed your video. Tim

Thanks Tim, yes the Suzuki is very surprisingly powerful engine, that 3rd cylinder is key in our applications. I wish I had a cat to work with but up here in Upstate NY, I am basically only on lake and river water. Please see my other videos if you’d like to hear the Suzuki perform on the water. I have it on a 2019 Smokercraft V14 Voyager. Sounds like you need that power tilt and trim. Send me a link when you get her set up ! - Jeff
Great choice I just bought a 2020 15hp great motor
Thank you Salty - I've had great performance and nothing but good things to say about this engine so far. I've just done the first 20 hr. service myself, and greased everything by the book. Ready for the water. I wish I was in Florida down where you are ! Thanks again. - Jeff
Yes, the 15 Suzuki is a champion of an engine. You will love that one.....As a DIY guy, I have to work on all my own stuff including my Suzuki DF25A as I don't have a Suzuki dealer anywhere near me. I've subbed, thanks again. - Jeff
Thank you Jeff, i appreciate the sub, I am a diy guy as well, save a lot of money and also enjoy doing it! I am going to break it in tomorrow and of course do the 20 hour service once reached, I just subbed to you as well! Enjoy the Suzuki 👍🏻
Thanks Salty! Remember at the 20 hour blinking reminder light on the tiller model : tap the stop button 3 times quickly while it's running to clear the light. (In the manual) - Jeff
1minibean thank you Jeff!! I appreciate that tip, I will be sure to do so! 👨🏻✈️
!! Que lindo regalo para el dia del padre !!
Si señor, muy bien ! Gracias
Thanks for these videos of the 25hp Suzuki. Question: How did you lift it onto the transom? I’m considering the the 15” standard model weighing 136 lbs. I think i could handle it but just wondering how others do it. Thanks
I had to lift it by my self - I lifted it up straight from the box with the skeg on a pad so it didn't get scratched, then I opened up the clamps, then I bear hugged the motor and lifted it up and hung it on the transom. I don't recommend anyone to do this. Under the cowl, there is a lifting eye attached to the top of the motor, if you have any kind of overhead hoist or engine crane. Most of us don't. 2 guys to manhandle it is all you will need.
I had a buddy help my load the 25HP
I got my neighbor's two teenaged sons to help me lift the motor onto the transom. Once in place, I fine-tuned the mounting by placing a "Little Giant" - style ladder over the motor and suspending a come-along from the top of the ladder, hooking the come-along onto the eye hook on top of the motor. This allowed me to suspend and center the motor above the transom while fitting the wood onto my aluminum transom.
Hello,
I've just ordered a Suzuki DF 30hp ATHL and I need to know big should I do the transom?? Can you tell me the lengh of yours?(if you have a long shaft type)
By the book they say 508mm, but I ve mesured with a Suzuki 5hp and it has almost 590mm. I can't find a 30hp to measure.
Can you help me figure it out? I need a lengh of your boat transom.
Thank you
You will need a 20 inch transom..
Have you water tested it yet? How did it do? Waiting on my 2020 electric start/tilt & trim 25 right now. Would love some feedback on your experience with the motor and online outboards. Thanks 👍
William
I have had it in the water. If you see my other videos on my channel you will see all the test stats. This motor was the correct choice for me. It has lots of power and midrange. See the vids

Online outboards is fast, but I went to pick it up at the fed ex hub near my house to save a delivery appointment
What is the total price
4000 $

Any particular reason you went with the 25 instead of the 30? I am trying to decide whether to set up my 13' fiberglass Livingston 350 pound hull (catamaran) which is rated for a 40hp, with a 20hp or 30hp. I like the efficiency and simplicity of the 20 @ 96 pounds. I am afraid I will be disappointed with the 20hp over all performance as opposed to the 30 @ 163 pounds. The 30 requires me to build and install a jack plate as the transom is too narrow to accommodate the larger mounting frame. Not a big deal, just one more step in the process of refitting this boat.I understand the 25 and 30 are the same engine with the electronic fuel injection adjusted for more HP on the 30. I would be curious to see your boats performance once the 25 is installed. Ironically the company you purchased the engine from is there same company I plan to purchase from. I have owned a Suzuki 115 HP in the past and it was the best. No more large boats for me. Simplicity is key these days. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Tim, Olympic Peninsula.

I agree 100% with you as I went through the same challenges. You will be disappointed in the 20 HP. It’s not enough grunt to push your boat the way you want. I went with the 25 for 2 reasons over the 30. First reason was I have a 15 inch transom, second reason is the difference in price. I bought the electric start model without power trim and it’s at 137 lbs I think it was. I wish I had got the power trim and 163 lbs because the extra weight isn’t anything, believe me. Please do your self the favor and look at the new Yamaha 40 before you buy the motor, only because on Boats.net, you will see this engine for $5349.00. It’s a absolute gem of an engine at that price, and the same or close to the Suzuki 30. You are correct on the 25 and 30 about the power, but the mounting holes are the same. The 25 Suzuki will move your craft quite nicely too. Please see my other videos on this motor on my boat as I have 5 I think with speed testing. Online outboards has exceptional service. I had it in 3 days to NY where I live.let me know if you have more questions. Thanks - Jeff

Also, the Suzuki 30 only comes in 20 inch shaft, no 15 inch available for that engine. I have had great success with this Suzuki engine, and It is super quiet, and very fuel efficient. It has an 11 pitch prop and runs my boat with 2 adults and 1 kid at 29 -30 mph every time I use it. It will jerk them off the seat if they are not holding on when I hit the throttle even when I’m running full speed (3/4) throttle. There always seems to be that extra punch even at max. What a nice engine it it so far.
Mohon maaf bang... Mau tanya...
Beli suku cadang nya di mana bng kalu di jkt
Do you know the exact measurement from the mounting bracket to the cavitation plate above the prop on the short shaft?
Backyard Garage I WILL GET A MEASUREMENT ASAP
1minibean thank you please let me know
17 inches
That’s from the bottom of the mount flush on the transom down to the cavitation plate
Qual é o preço de se motor e onde comprar
Very Intelligent - I have done the same thing for 20 years. I want a reliable simple boat that we can enjoy. Why not Yamaha?
I just liked the 3 cylinder on the suzuki, and ease of purchase.
@@1minibean was it 20% cheaper than yamaha?
@@centralbears3010
I paid 3750. Plus tax. Came to like 4k
Nice video. How easy to order motor from them ? How long shipping takes ? Did you pay with credit card ?
Easy online ordering, 4 days or so for delivery.
The tiller is way to short in this one
I agree. For this kind of money it should come standard with the Deluxe Tiller handle.
Hi buddy tell me how much in your country costs such an engine. Thanks
4000. USD after taxes.
@@1minibean In Poland 4420$ Thank you for your quick reply
Motors are expensive everywhere. Greetings you from New York.
This Suzuki engine has been beautiful. It performs spectacular and is very quiet.
One thing I noticed about my motor is that when I hook up the hose to the clam thing to flush no water comes out of the pee hole, however there is a little cap you remove to flush with the engine off which is OK but for oil changes it's a hassle filling up a trash can to submerge the cavitation plate, when You flush you motor with the clam thing could you tell me if yours does the same thing? Thanks so much, BTW if you have the common problem of the steering tensioner (on the tiller steering model) loosening up after a day of boating I found a cure, you need to tighten up the 12mm nut above the tensioner lever however it will just loosen up again, (frustrating) the fix is....wait for it... a drop of red thread lock permanently fixed the issue after you re-adjust the 12mm nut. I'm now on my 2nd season and have not had to address the issue!
Yes, I use the hose fitting side adapter that comes with the motor and it does come out the hole this way.
I've have never tried the muffs, so I don't know. I bet there is not enough pressure to push it out the pee hole with muffs, because as you can see with muffs, most of the water just sprays everywhere down low. With the fitting, I have actually used a pointed nose nozzle on my hose and it pumped it right out the pee hole instantly. Secondly - yes, my steering tensioner also loosens after 2 hours on the water.....I used blue permatex thread lock on mine and seems to be much better. That was a weak design I agree. Love my DF25. I will post a video when I do the ecu and restrictor plate mod.
Where did you bought this motor
Onlineoutboards.com out of Tennessee. This model is the DF25AES short shaft.
1minibean thank you so much
Do you recommend online outboard? Reading a lot and they say SCAM!!!! I’m just nervous cause the prices are very good and wonder if it’s too good to be true.
I read the same, but have ordered twice with great fast service both times.
Be sure you are on the correct site. There is one similar that is overseas that you don't want to deal with .
The CORRECT site is onlineoutboards.com (out of Tennessee ) aka Cumberland Watersports, Inc.

Boats.net I bought a new in the box 2017 manual for $2900 May 2019 that never sold, upon reviewing specs no changes whatsoever over 2019 model and I buy my Suzuki factory oil filters for $10.50 from them vs the local boat shop for $16, great place to do business with and they have tech support and they answer the phone!

Wow what a steal of a deal. I paid 3750. Plus tax and free shipping. Lot of money these outboards are....I personally think for 4k we should get a 40 HP motor, at least.
I bought a DF25ARS from onlineoutboards.com in 2017 and was pleased with the price and with the delivery service. It helps that I live about 100 miles south of their location in Tennessee.
How much price rate
