Hello,

I have a suzuki DT 4 outboard motor (2-stroke) and i am looking for a bit more power.
Is it possible to bigbore the motor? (bigger piston)
I would prefer a bigger piston to a port job.

Welcome to iboats :) ...... it is possible yes, but you would need to port it in anyway with the bigger piston (1mm oversize max) ... I would rather just buy a bigger motor than to go through all the trouble ......

You are right about the bigger motor,but let me explane why i am asking this.
The suzuki is for my sons boat,and at his age he is not allowed to have an engine bigger then 4 hp,the police checks that.
If he goes out with his friends the boat hardly moves with that 4hp suzuki,so i am looking for a bit more punch if you know what i mean.
i don`t want to make it a speedboat,i care for his safety,but just a bit more power so he can enjoy the boat a bit more.

By the way,1mm probably doesn`t give much more power will it?
