  • Suzuki, Yamaha, Mercury, and the other outboard competitors all make great motors. But there is only one clear winner in my opinion when it comes to dollar for dollar. Let me know what you think the best outboard is!

    Had Over 15 dual installation of Suzuki 225 and 300 on my customer fleet of boats in 2012 with Suzuki's...each one crossed over 3000+ hours of use before a major overhaul..almost nil breakdowns.
    Maintenance was very strict , every month oil changes due to running hours clocked 3000 hours in just 18 months of use ...each set.
    They were on Naval patrolling duty here. From then on my faith in Suzuki's have always been high

    I agree with you on your experience.👍
    I am a marine technician here in India and work on all this brands upto 300HP.
    The Yamaha are one of the most reliable machines, second would be Suzuki but it takes the plus point in cost factor . Mercury power but lots of maintenance or regular care and working on its electricals.
    Tohatsu or the Honda are way good in least maintenance , but purcahse cost is one of the highest .
    Evinrude is almost out of the list as way high cost to maintain due to least support here.

I have had sweet bugger all problems, and never anything that went to sea! That might well be more expensive, but I give the extra, because I know I can trust Yamaha!

    I had one of the original Fly By Wire Suzuki DF300. The lower unit failed right when it went out of warranty. I wrote the District Manager a complementary email and Suzuki covered the repair. I think the early DF300 used a lower unit from a smaller model but also heard they beefed up the DF300 in later years. I have to agree with your analysis! Good job!

    I’ve owned my 1996 Suzuki 25 hp 2 stroke three cyl. Electric start since new .👍It came with a six year warranty when new which I’ve never have used. Seasonally I change lower unit oil and new spark plugs is all. Been a great motor luckily since we have very few dealerships in Iowa to repair them if needed. This year I just changed my 2nd new impeller for strictly upkeep to keep my motor in top shape. Is a new 30 hp. Four stroke power tilt the answer to my dreams?🤔

    Brother everything you said in this video is spot on facts! You nailed it when mentioning value for the money, length of warranty, and most notably reliability! The only nod I will give Yamaha and Mercury is frequency of service centres. Every small lake or backwoods bayou there is always someone who can work on or has parts to get you out of a jam. But damn Suzuki is coming and they build a great motor. I had a Suzuki 140 single and is was strong, light weight and crazy reliable. I’m running twin Yamaha 300’s now and absolutely love them, but for re-power, I’d seriously consider jumping ship. Suzuki’s price is hard to turn away from. Great video, thanks for sharing.

    Tohatsu started in Japan in 1956 , making it the oldest outboard manufacturer in Japan. Over the decades they have built outboards for Mercury . Mariner , Suzuki and Evinrude by the hundreds of thousands , for their reliability and cost savings . So for me , I prefer the Tohatsu outboard for their reliability and cheaper than the big names and because I trust the Japanese made outboards also .

    I went fishing in Roatan with a guy who had a Suzuki 200 four stroke. He said he had 6500 hrs on the engine with no issues. He said he was just using normal car oil in the engine because Suzuki branded oil was very expensive and hard to come by. He just used the proper viscosity Suzuki called for in the maintenance manual. The same went for the lower unit gear oil. Just regular differential gear oil from the local auto parts store. This isn't a one off story either. I been hearing plenty of these same things from many Suzuki owners. They made a fine engine.

    I was all ready to shoot you down, as I know marine engines, but you nailed it. Yamahas are proven winners in Australia the last 20 years, with Mercury's reputation very low (known as boat anchors in Australia). Suzuki's recent models are bullet proof though, similar to Yamaha and known for being more fuel efficient as well as cheaper.

    Suzuki is the way to go!
    Always been into Yamaha...have a couple Yamaha outboards and loved their reliability and easy to work on.

    If I was buying a new boat. I’d be happy with either a Yamaha or Suzuki. Some of the Mercs seem to be great too. If I had to repower my current boat. It would be a Suzuki. No doubt. My current 2007 df200 v6 is quiet as a mouse.

    I fish saltwater and have owned 2004 Yamaha F60 ,2002 Suzuki DF60 both meticulously serviced and still running strongly up to 2021 on similar sized 16ft fibreglass constructed boats.,both operated flawlessly put down to previous owners servicing schedules.Splitting hairs between them both but I felt the Yammy was a marginally more powerful engine and had superb turbine like sound when opened up fully.The Suzi revved/pulled quicker from the off and higher operating at 5500rpm maximum throttle.Both engines on tickover were so quiet and smooth.,often commented on by admirers.They pushed the boats to 30mph maximum,but the boat the Yammy was fitted was slightly heavier. If there were two second hand engines side by side and there was 500bucks between them id take the Suzi,if they were priced the same Id take the Yammy.
    I now own a Honda Bf 60 2020 model which pushes an 18ft Pilothouse boat at the same speed,uses less fuel and has that Honda engine note that Honda bike owners would recognise.,Its really frugal on the juice and again ,very quiet on tickover.Id imagine the Honda to have the edge over current competition based on their 4stroke pedigree-its all theyve ever made.,Its only had its first service so cant really add any more ,other than its definitely got plenty of power and low torq and puts the boat on the plane quickly.Very happy with it.

    Recently bought a new motor. My first choice was suzuki, until I talked to several of my friends that had them. Their reason
    for going with suzuki was the warrantee. Until they needed warrantee work done, then it was a fight to get it covered. All three of my buddies are life time boaters and know boats and motors. All three without hesitation, when I asked which motor I should go with, said mercury. I understand your reason for your choice.
