Suzuki 9.9 Four Stroke Outboard - 3 Year Review

So, now that I have owned this Suzuki 9.9 Outboard motor for 3 years I thought I would do a comprehensive review based on the criteria that I look for in an outboard motor.

Thanks for taking the time to make this! I'm still looking at Mercury and Suzuki for a 20hp but your review might have tipped the scale👍

Can't beat the performance it has given you. Great job on the review.

I’m running a 30 year old Evinrude 2 cycle. And when it comes time to replace it the Suzuki is top of the list . Let’s hope you get a lot of years of service from this new motor.

Thanks for the review! Just bought a Suzuki 9.9 extra long shaft (25”) for my 23’ sailboat with a 1200-lb keel. Moving from a small lake in PA to the Delaware Bay and wanted something new, reliable, and had enough oomph to deal with tidal currents. Was considering a 9.9 Honda, but liked the idea of having EFI for fast/reliable starts on the open water switching from sails to motor power. Sometimes that change is needed quickly if dark clouds are rolling in!

Great video, thanks! Could you tell us where you purchased this motor?

Great Engine!
Suzuki is making a name for themselves from small Outboards to the Big Outboards!
One of the most reliable motors on the market.
If I ever repower my Mercury 115 4 stroke I will change to a Suzuki.
Great video Kyle!

Did you ever change the prop when you did the 9.9 to 20hp conversion?

[MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great testing and review! What a great motor and good idea to double the horsepower! Thank you for sharing brother!

[GUNSLINGEROUTDOORS]

Those definitely are great motors.. everyone I know loves them

[danrush]

Has the valves been adjusted? If so did you do it?

[heavyd]

You could convert that to a 20 hp by replacing the restrictor plate and the ECU.
The engines are the same. However, it will void the 5 year warranty.😊

Have you upgraded your 9.9 Suzuki with a 20 hp conversion? I would like to chat with you about this.

[Natureboy]

Do you know if you can upgrade to a 20 hp on a 2025 model

[DCOutdoors]

Hey Kyle, I'm glad that the motor has been fantastic. 9.9/10 is a great rating.

[RaymondPexton]

The upgrade to 20 hp would be excellent

A lot of saltwater guides use the Suzuki motors they love them
