Greetings,
New to the forum, 1st post.
When I was looking for a new motor for my 14" PolarKraft, I visited many forums including this one, looking for information. After I learned a little more about the Suzuki 20HP EFI, I got interested in the possibility of running pump gas in an era of 10% ethanol and all the problems that can bring with a small carb. It looked like there was a lot of interest , but most were waiting for a little more run time. I couldn't wait. I ordered the Suzuki from Newoutboards.com out of Tenn. I had the motor in 3 days after picking it up at the local trucking terminal to avoid having to coordinate a delivery. Packaging was perfect with no dents or dings to the box and the motor was securely packed. I wanted to post these pictures because I know some of you are considering this and want to know how the shipping went. I did call the store to make sure they had one on hand, but the rest of the transaction was done online. I've only had it out twice and I'm still in the break-in period, so I'll post more on performance notes later. Here's what I can say so far:
1. Pretty motor, nice detail, mechanically correct with nothing loose or missing.
2. An easy pull, running at 1/2 a crank.
3. Very quiet and smooth, although this is my 1st 4 stroke OB.
4. Nice fit on the PK. It's a 14' Vee, circa 1960 or so.
5. Comes with a 3 gal tank and hose, burned less than 1/2 a tank putting around, 8 miles out, 8 miles back.
6. It was $2695.00 , bottom line.
Here's a few photos , feel free to ask anything. I was curious about a lot, but just had no one to ask given the few that are out there in the US. OB
