    Suzuki DT30 Engine Cover Paint?

    Hello all. Happy 4th Holiday! I realize I'll be talking to myself again as anybody with half a life will be out boating today. I'm stuck at work and thinking about how ugly my 1987 Suzuki DT 30 looks. I'm thinking about having it painted but I figure if I'm going to go through the expense I...

    Hello again. Recently bought a boat with a 1987 Suzuki DT30 (2 cylinder) motor. I've been experiencing difficulty with the shifter. The motor shifts into forward and throttles up fine. When I try to shift into reverse or use the cold throttle lever things start to bind up and the shifter becomes...

    Hello all. Recently bought a 16ft SeaNymph with a 30hp Suzuki. I'm considering removing the Suzuki and converting my 2001 Tohatsu 18hp tiller to remote for this boat. (To fish HP restricted lakes) I picked up a Nissan remote but I'm not sure it will fit and I don't think it's all there? The...

    Suzuki DT30 Engine Cover Foam?

    Weird question. Anybody replace the foam lining inside the motor cover on an older Suzuki (1987 DT30)? I guess the foam was to deaden the sound. It would be nice if the engine ran a little quieter (when it's running). Mine is deteriorating and little bits are falling down inside the motor. What...

    What's the difference between these two Suzuki solenoid relays?

    Hello all. I'm pretty sure I need a new (different) starter solenoid for my 1987 Suzuki DT 30. Had a beautiful evening here in SWPA. Took my wife out on the lake for a little fishing and relaxation. At the boat launch the engine fired right up. Got about 6 miles from the launch and I shut down...

    Which fuel line assembly for Tohatsu?

    Hello all. I need to pick up a fuel line assembly for my 18hp Tohatsu 2 Stroke. The assembly I've been using for my 9.9 2stroke is 3/8 but I'm seeing the assembly for the 18 listed as 5/16. Will either work? Thanks

    How do you remove marine silicone from aluminum?

    While on a fishing excursion late last fall I tried to do an emergency repair to my transducer mount using a tube of marine grade silicone. The repair didn't work and now I've got a glob of silicone stuck to the back of my aluminum transom. Any formulas for easy removal? Thanks Rob

    Identifying the undeterminable? Tohatsu 18?

    I picked up what's suspected to be an 18hp Tohatsu 2 stroke motor with a bad powerhead. The reason I went for it was that I have a 9.9B2 and I figured some of the parts were interchangeable (I needed a starter). Looks like the flywheel and the pull start mechanism are the same and the transom...

    Trying to figure out what I just bought? M9.9 B2

    Had the week off to do some fishing and impulsively bought a Tohatsu M9.9 B2 hoping to upgrade from my 1958 Evinrude 5.5 Fisherman. The motor has electric start and it's been converted to a stick steer. I've spent several hours pouring over the threads and google searching to find out what year...
