The Suzuki 140 is a fantastic outboard! Guys have been putting a phenomenal amount of hours on them... Jeff

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Benni, I don't know about that particular Suzuki, but mine (175's) are at my mechanic now getting full baseline service. He is a good friend of mine and told me Seatow uses them, and has 9200 hours on them if you do the full maintenance schedule like you should. That's insane.

You will like this,,,,the nurses at the va gave marlo a card and cake for all of his help and hard work,,,,then he got called to the Stg of the va police office""oh no ???""nope the police department at the va gave him another award  ;D

Like I said above the 140 is the same. Uncle in Alaska runs two 140's with jets & he's been running them like he stole them for years. It's the same with most anyone who has these outboards. All getting an insane amount of hours on them.... Jeff

I have mainly run Johnson's my whole life so I didn't have much reference but I was very happy to hear that.
