My first question would be . . . why wouldn't Suzuki honor a warranty on a new motor with their name on it?
They will ... but they didn't say WHEN ...
Seriously, we have a Honda dealer near me that if you didn't buy the OB from him ... you'll wait in line for MONTHS. He never says it that way, of course, but if you needed service in the Spring he'd say
"Sure, park it over there and once I get all my regular customers done, I'll get right on it."
Have also had a Suzuki dealer question a friend of mine when he needed service done. He 'lied' and said it came on the boat he just bought , so they took it in. Then they read off from the warranty system that he purchased it new from some on-line site ... and let's just say he finally got it fixed. But it co$t him some extra $$$ and took weeks to almost 2-months to get it, not the days to maybe 2-weeks tops it should have taken ...
[Edit:] Warranty may NOT have to be honored if ex-US purchase, believe FTC laws might be reason. To prospective Buyers -
caveat emptor!
