suzuki efi 90hp or yamaha efi 90hp 4 stroke
Submitted by Kuz on Thu, 2017-09-07 19:46
Hey guys I'm looking at repowering my 2002 savage osprey 525 SP(currently has a 2001 90hp Johnson ocean pro v4 with 320hours which will be for sale or trade in.) and have read heaps of info on this site in regards Suzuki and Yamaha 4strokes, which has been very helpful.I need to stay close to the weight of the original engine I have now which is 145kg plus oils and prop,because my boat has bit of nose up attitude across all trim ranges,so I think adding to much more weight is going make that worse. So I'm looking for some latest feed back on these engines would be very much appreciated.
thanks kuz

Both very nice motors. Mate has a 90 Suzi and know one speed with it.. Never had a drama and the fuel economy is nuts
Another friend is in process of putting a Honda 100 on his 17 foot penguin. Had a look and its very impressive
I like my Yamaha but it comes down to your maintenance and keeping water/ crappy fuel out of your outboard

Ive had both but currently
Ive had both but currently the 90 suzi.
Same as other guys you'll be checking if your fuel gauge is working properly with the suzi, it is that good!
Yammy maybe slightly better out of the hole but depends on your boat/weight setup.
Id prob just go best price.
Play the dealers off against each other you never know you may get a good deal.

I have the current Suzuki
I have the current Suzuki 80hp (exactly the same as the 90) I decided on the the Suzuki because the smart gages looked nicer than the Yamaha ones. Also Suzuki has a timing chain unlike the Yamaha that has a belt (I prefer a chain, personal preference) fuel economy is awesome as people have mentioned and I assume the Yamaha wouldn't be far behind. I had the 100 hour service done yesterday including plugs & fuel filter it come to $470 to give you an idea.

I run a Suzi DF90 and the economy is ridiculous and I push my 5m glass boat at around 0.75L to the mile at 5800rpm going at 26 knots

Good economy but if thats
Good economy but if thats not near WOT then Id have thought you'd get more than 26 knots out of it and it may be under propped?

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

That was on Sunday pushing
That was on Sunday pushing through a 10kn NW breeze coming around the Cape in Busso with my 120kg cousin on board, both our tackles boxes and trimmed in to punch through the slop. Pretty sure she normally sits around 28kn at those revs in better conditions.

I had a 60hp Yammy 4 stroke
I had a 60hp Yammy 4 stroke on my 5m Quinny for 7years no problems ,but a little under powered so upgraded to the new yammy 90 4 stroke 1.8litre sohc 4 valve 162kg and I love it! it's based on the 115hp block so heaps of torque top speed 36 knots at 6000rpm I only have 15 hrs on the clock so still early days. I have mates with Suzuki's and they say there fantastic but I have heard midway marine and all boats no longer deal with zukes so been told short of dealers in perth

I had a look on the Suzuki
I had a look on the Suzuki website today and they say only 2 dealerships in perth.One in Wangara "seabreeze boating" and the other in Henderson "brett ward"if this is correct it might make warranty servicing a bit difficult for most people.

Warranty
both good motors as listed before , looking at your run hours which are low for age I would review the length of warranty offered as I believe the Suzi is longer

Yer it's bottom end grunt is
Yer it's bottom end grunt is pretty awesome why I put up with that 60 for so long is beyond me! But for every negative there is a positive! Definitely was worth the wait for yamaha to come up with the new 90hp and have sitting on the back of my transom
