    2001 Optimax SmartCraft Wiring / Questions

    Hi All- I got a "new to me" 2001 Optimax. The fellow that I got it from had 2 Smartcraft gauges that came with it, a tachometer and a speedometer, but none of the necessary wiring or harnesses. Doing all my own research, I basically got what I thought was needed, wired everything up and...

    Hi All- I've got a 1986 (I believe) Suzuki DT200- The motor has been absolutely fantastic for so many years, but I think she's on her last leg. I've brought her back from the brink of death several times and I'm hoping to pull off one last miracle. Here's the situation: On our last trip...

    **Video Added** 1989 Suzuki DT200 - Rough Running / RPM / Limp Mode?

    Hi All- I hope the mods (or anyone really) don't mind me starting a new topic for this.

    1989 DT200 - Typical Compression Readings

    Hi All, I have read many of the questions "Is xyz a good compression reading for my motor" along with all the responses suggesting that the actual PSI in the cylinder isn't as important as having a consistent reading across all cylinders.

    Suzuki DT200 rpm doesn't match tach?

    I trailered my boat about 300 miles this past week. When I arrived and put the boat in something was clearly wrong. It started fine and the port water alarm was sounding (both the red light on the gauge and the audible alarm every 20 seconds or so). Eventually that cleared up but when I...

    I have a 1989 or possibly a 1988 Suzuki DT200. It has been a great motor for many years and today I had a strange problem. Two problems maybe. I don't know if they are related. First the starboard side water temp light came on and the alarm was also sounding periodically. The port side was...

    Hey All .. Sorry for the novel here .. but maybe my story will help someone. My dad bought a 21' Wellcraft CC with a Suzuki DT200 on it about 8 or 9 years ago when he lived here in Atlanta. We used it a lot on Lanier, and it was a solid, good rig. Really enjoyed it. He moved to Bluffton...

    Hey All, Rehabbing my dad's old DT200, and things are looking pretty good. However there is an intermittent alarm / visual indicator on one of the gauges. It was raining so I didn't get a picture, and couldn't find one on the internet. The indicator is small, and round .. it has three green...
