DESCRIPTION:
- This manual is designed to be a handy reference guide to maintaining and repairing your Suzuki 2-stroke outboard.
- We strongly believe that regardless of how many or how few years experience you may have, there is something new waiting here for you.
- This manual covers the topics that a factory service manual (designed for factory trained mechanics) and a manufacturer owner’s manual (designed more by lawyers these days) covers.
- it wil l take you through the basics of maintaining and repairing your outboard, step-by-step, to help you understand what the factory trained mechanics already know by heart.
- By using the information in this manual, any boat owner should be able to make better informed decisions about what they need to do to maintain and enjoy their outboard. Even if you never plan on touching a wrench (and if so, we hope that you will change your mind), this manual will still help you understand what a mechanic needs to do in order to maintain your engine. Can You Do lt? If you are not the type who is prone to taking a wrench to something, NEVER FEAR.
- The procedures in this manual cover topics at a level virtually anyone will be able to handle. And just the fact that you purchased this manual shows your interest in better understanding your outboard. You may find that maintaining your outboard yourself is preferable in most cases.
- From a monetary standpoint, it could also be beneficial. The money spent on hauling your boat to a marina and paying a tech to service the engine could buy you fuel for a whole weekend’s boating.
- If you are unsure of your own mechanical abi l ities, at the very least you should fully understand what a marine mechanic does to your boat. You may decide that anything other than maintenance and adjustments should be performed by a mechanic (and that’s your call), but know that every time you board your boat, you are placing faith in the mechanic’s work and trusting him or her with your well-being, and maybe your life.
- it should also be noted that in most areas a factory trained mechanic will command a hefty hourly rate for off site service. This hourly rate is charged from the time they leave their shop to the time they return home. The cost savings in doing the job yourself should be readily apparent at this point.
- Where to Begin Before spending any money on parts, and before removing any nuts or bolts, read through the entire procedure or topic. This will give you the overall view of what tools and supplies will be required to perform the procedure or what questions need to be answered before purchasing parts. So read ahead and plan ahead.
- Each operation should be approached logically and all procedures thoroughly understood before attempting any work. Avoiding Trouble Some procedures in this manual may require you to “label and disconnect . . .” a group of lines, hoses or wires.
- Don’t be lulled into thinking you can remember where everything goes – you won’t. If you reconnect or install a part incorrectly, things may operate poorly, if at all. If you hook up electrical wiring incorrectly, you may i nstantly learn a very, very expensive lesson.
- A piece of masking tape, for example, placed on a hose and another on its fitting will allow you to assign your own label such as the letter “A”, or a short name. As long as you remember your own code, the lines can be reconnected by matching letters or names. Do remember that tape will dissolve when saturated in fluids
- . If a component is to be washed or cleaned, use another method of identification. A permanent felt-tipped marker can be very handy for marking metal parts; but remember that fluids will remove permanent marker. SAFETY is the most important thing to remember when performing maintenance or repairs. Be sure to read the i nformation on safety in this manual. Maintenance or Repair?
- Proper maintenance is the key to long and trouble-free engine life, and the work can yield its own rewards. A properly maintained engine performs better than one that is neglected. As a conscientious boat owner, set aside a Saturday morning, at least once a month, to perform a thorough check of items which could cause problems.
- Keep your own personal log to jot down which services you performed, how much the parts cost you, the date, and the amount of hours on the engine at the time. Keep all receipts for parts purchased, so that they may be referred to in case of related problems or to determine operating expenses. As a do-it-yourselfer, these receipts are the only proof you have that the required maintenance was performed. In the event of a warranty problem, these receipts will be invaluable.
- it’s necessary to mention the difference between maintenance and repair. Maintenance includes routine inspections, adjustments, and replacement of parts that show signs of normal wear.
- Maintenance compensates for wear or deterioration. Repair implies that something has broken or is not working. A need for repair is often caused by lack of maintenance.
- For example: draining and refilling the engine oil is maintenance recommended by all manufacturers at specific intervals.
- Failure to do this can allow internal corrosion or damage and impair the operation of the engine, requiring expensive repairs. While no maintenance program can prevent items from breaking or wearing out, a general rule can be stated:
