Hate to say it, but you probably dropped a valve. Pull the spark plugs out and you may find one that has the ground beat to death. May have punch a hole through the head as well. I know this can...

I would do as another poster suggested and start pulling individual fuses, checking the amp draw each time. That will at least narrow the list of suspects. I know that there is some normal...
Don't know if you have them and I've never checked it myself, but I've been told that black light jacks will draw some current if not switched.
I had the DF 115 and it was the same procedure as the merc. No more than 3k rpm's except for getting on plane and constantly change speed. I did a lot of trolling the first couple of trips. It's a...
I had a similar problem with my boat. I was redlining at 75% throttle and ended up going through 3 props till I got it right. The four stroke suzuki's are geared low, so you have to run a higher...
Before I sold my boat w/df115 my local dealer told me they had only had one four stroke Suzuki in for any kind of major maintenance. The engine had over 2000 hours with zero oil changes. Said when...
I went from a Honda to a DF 115 myself. My Honda dropped a valve and punched a hole through the head. The Suzuki ran flawlessly for the 4 years I owned it. I've never met anybody that didn't have...
I've seen the 6 year warranty offered several times around July. They may do it more than once a year though. Call your dealer and he may be able to shed more light on it.
The opti two strokes...
I had a Four Stroke 115 Suzuki for 4 years and it was the best engine I've ever owned. I recently sold the boat to get into camping, but it never gave me any problems whatsoever. Preventive...
I don't have a DF150 but a DF115. I got the 3 + 3 warranty and it is the real thing. You will be covered the last three years just like the first three. I doubt you will need it though.
I bought my Suzuki at Travis/Tracker on Hwy 72 and I assume you did to. I asked them the same question and they told me if the water pressure ever got low the tach would warn me. I was still...
There are two tachometers identical to mine with a "buy it now price" of $40.00. Compared to what I paid that's a good price. Type in SUZUKI OUTBOARD ANALOG TACHOMETER in the search box to see it....
I believe Suzuki four strokes use a 12 pole setting. As far as interchangability with other makes, I was told when I bought my DF115 it was only compatable with the suzuki tach. I bought mine back...
I've had my DF115 for 3.5 years and I feel the same way as you. My dealer has yet to see a blown engine.
That's not a lot of hours for a suzuki four stroke. My dealer has only had one engine come back for major repairs since 2003. That engine had 2000 hours on it and the oil had NEVER been changed. ...
Is your motor a four stroke? If so, I just saw a Suzuki tach for their four strokes for sale on e-bay with a buy it now price of $65.00. I think I paid about $250 new for mine three years ago.
Find the wires coming out of the bottom of your oil reservoir. They will be coming from your oil level alarm switch. Trace wires back to the connectors and then unplug them. If alarm goes away,...
Couple of days ago I came home from a morning of fishing and as I was backing my boat up my inclined driveway I felt my truck kinda bog down. Thought my trailer tires had run up on stick or big rock...
I had the same thing happen to a Merc I used to own. Power trim and ignition would work and then not work, very erratic. I ended up finding the engine block ground nut was loose and was...
Try turning the key til the beeper starts and wait 3 seconds after it stops before turning back to off with the boat on the trailer. Then when in the water do your normal cranking routine and see if...
I went through the same thing with my DF115. Put three props on to get RMP's down to 6000. Finally ended up settling with a Trophy four blade 24 pitch and now running 6000 rpm trimmed WOT. Did a...
You should be around 60 mph with that engine. I have a DF 115 on a 17.5' Fiberglass Bass boat and mine will hit 55 mph. I have a SS 24" Trophy on the engine and running 6000 rpm trimmed up and on...
If the oil light is blinking continuously, then this is the oil change reminder. If it is on solid, then you need to get it checked out. My book says it will remind you to change oil after 20 hours...
I'll tell him you said hi. Where did you catch those monster bass in your pics?
Ronnie is my across the street neighbor. I've fished a couple of Thursday night tournyments with him on Pickwick. Have not been out with him since he got his new boat though.
Yes that pic is...
