The BEST OUTBOARD in The WORLD!

Suzuki, Yamaha, Mercury, and the other outboard competitors all make great motors. But there is only one clear winner in my opinion when it comes to dollar for dollar. Let me know what you think the best outboard is!

The best one is usually the one on your boat.

Had Over 15 dual installation of Suzuki 225 and 300 on my customer fleet of boats in 2012 with Suzuki's...each one crossed over 3000+ hours of use before a major overhaul..almost nil breakdowns.
Maintenance was very strict, every month oil changes due to running hours clocked 3000 hours in just 18 months of use ...each set.
They were on Naval patrolling duty here. From then on my faith in Suzuki's have always been high

I agree with you on your experience.👍
I am a marine technician here in India and work on all this brands upto 300HP.
The Yamaha are one of the most reliable machines, second would be Suzuki but it takes the plus point in cost factor . Mercury power but lots of maintenance or regular care and working on its electricals.
Tohatsu or the Honda are way good in least maintenance, but purcahse cost is one of the highest .
Evinrude is almost out of the list as way high cost to maintain due to least support here.

susuki is archaic construction and tremendeus weight ...

Yamaha is my fav. I like them bc they don’t need much maintenance

[garyhooper]

Can you say Tohatsu ? The choice of those fishermen in remote areas that have to have a long living, Dependable, and affordable power on their boats.

Those white Yammies are so sweet looking !! But I ageree on the Suzuki coming on strong but I run a Yamaha 250 digital and it’s been an awesome engine !!

[robertraft]

we run yamahas at our yard.
the best outboard is someone elses outboard, lol.

[kalsaumesatungiamata]

Buying the best can be much more expensive, I'd still take Yamaha. I have only 1 life i have to come back home

[italiangreyhoundu]

Suzuki is great! I've experienced the 350hp Suzuki with dual props. Just amazing!

[barrysargent]

Wouldn't give up a Yamaha for a Suzuki at any time. Just had great experiences with Yamaha all my life. From 4x4 wheelers, road bikes, dirt bikes, jetskis and outboards. I have had sweet bugger all problems, and never anything that went to sea! That might well be more expensive, but I give the extra, because I know I can trust Yamaha!

My Suzuki DF140A made gas. Not really, but it was an awesome engine in all aspects for the three years I owned it.

[LC-hfrk]

We have had twin 250 Suzuki outboards on our boat for the last 11 years, no problems, great motors.

Suzuki can’t be beat when it comes to warranty, mercury still have issues regularly and Yamaha reliability is superb. Suzuki price and weight is 👌

[brodyguillot]

I think an honorable mention should be honda they ain't the fastest but they don't break

[ahmadkhateeb]

You ignored Honda
While they have very nice and strong motors with high technology and quality
And it's has too many fans
Think again
Good luck

[jbjgibbons]

I’ve been seeing a lot of Suzuki’s appearing on the water. I agree with you. They seem to have improved a lot. I love my Evinrude. But if and when I repower it’ll be a Zuki.

[l.siestador]

My old evinrude 35 turns 44 this year. Still going strong. It broke recently and I was out $13 in parts. Lol. You can enjoy your time on the water at any price point.

What about Honda, best power, they prefer it in New Zealand tough seas

[SaltyPirate]

Mercury is light years better than they have been in the past. Suzuki has improved the most and are making the most user-proof motors. Yamaha has some corporate leadership issues. Their motorcycle division abandoned several of their bikes and has stagnated in innovation for several years now across all their divisions. Their outboard motors are still very very good, but reliability is what is selling ALL Yamaha products, across ALL divisions. Their stuff is good and very reliable, but "meh". Mercury is has the "flash". Suzuki needs to step up their dealer network. A no questions 6 year warranty is awesome, unless you aren't near a dealer.
