Thread: Opinion s Please.

Only had Yamma
It's old with carbs so not a good comparison
Maybe guys with new motors

They both are top notch motors. The Suzuki is a lot cheaper but make sure there are mechanics close to you that are certified to work on them. I will most likely put a Suzuki on my tracker when I get ready to repower in the future. I have a 175 Yamaha on my walleye boat and it is a awesome motor but if I can save money and reach the same objective then I am gonna save money.

Recommend Suzuki without hesitation. You prob won't need a mechanic if you can change oil/grease, plugs and fuel filter yourself. Water pump impeller change every 2-3 years too, may need a buddy to help remove/replace lower unit. That's about it. Mines 13 years old now and still going strong knock on wood. Yamaha great engines too, but I will get another Suzuki if that says anything.

The warranty would be one deciding factor for me

Maybe post on the mechanic page. I'm sure there will be an opinion or two

Suzuki hands down just like Fisholishous said You probably won't need a mechanic if you can change oil/grease, plugs and fuel filter yourself they are that good of motor !!!

I've had great luck with Yamaha.

I got a df 140 on my ranger....love it...fuel mileage is unreal
