Brand New Suzuki 20 HP Outboard Unboxing & Install! | 2024 DF20A

In this video I unbox and install my brand new Suzuki 20 HP outboard! This is their DF20A model, bought in 2024. It is a 15" shaft, manual pull start, four stoke, EFI motor in the saltwater white model. This is the cheapest new outboard on the market and also one of lightest. I paid a total of $2,800 after taxes and shipping for mine and it only weighs 97lbs!
I invite y'all to join me as I show you how we get it out of the box, on the jon boat, oiled up, and on the water for the beginning of the break in process! Hopefully this video can be of help to you or at least interesting! Thanks for watching!

You need to have it in deeper water when you're running it in a tank like that. The water pump should be submerged as it has a hard time self priming itself if it's not submerged. I have a 2021 9.9 h.p. It's being a great motor so far. 56 hours on the clock.

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

That makes sense. Thank you so much! Gonna stick you at the top so everyone can see this explanation

20 suzuki rm2000😅🙏 mersing

[@tonymunguia8647]

Great video. Very detailed and demonstrated. Thank you for this video. This is the only good video I can find about this motor

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful!

[@bluj321]

I should be ordering mine off outboards online tomorrow, thanks for making this video!

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

That's awesome! I'm fixing to make a video just about my experience with them! (spoiler: it was great)

[@coreyharrelson4914]

Awesome video, very informative.

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brianblizzard7591]

Beautiful motor. I am considering one myself. Congrats!

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Thank you! I'm loving mine!

[@davidmcnairn1015]

Good job on you video 👊

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Appreciate it!

[@trackdayadventures]

Just got mine from online outboards. Same color too. Probably one of the better deals out there

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

I think so. Hope you're happy with it!

[@ColsenTaylorFishing]

Nice rig!

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

I love it. Thanks!

[@janespen6841]

Just bought the 20 merc 2024 i was thinking about buying a suzuki 20 but i wanted 4 bolts to hold the motor because of the trim but i hope it runs good

[@SamsungMersing-lg1yr]

20 suzuki mersing rm2000😊

[@karlalindquist1154]

Fancy!!
How’s it run?

[@shanestevenson5418]

bounces around a lot for a 4 stroke efi

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

What do you mean?

[@ducatiparts966]

my 15hp 2 stroke yamaha is being replaced with one of these this week. my decision was based on the weight of the suzuki, its close to 30 pounds lighter than the new 20hp yamaha or honda.

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

It's super light. I love. Good luck!

[@steveleston1848]

nice new engine bet it pushs your vessel over 30 w/ just you. I think the bolts are in backwards. what type of paint are using on the hull? do you have a paint sparyer gun?I'm wanting a 20hp but will have to get a 9.9hp bc I want binnical an 25" shaft.

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Sounds nice. I used an air gun paint sprayer and total boat aluminum boat paint. It's great wherever I actually let it dry. I had to fish a tournament before the bottom had totally cured and some of it peeled off so I have to touch up some spots. If you follow the instructions it works great though

[@ia6980]

Motor super easy, very portable, crazy how light that is, its pretty light, def not too heavy" = moment later we see 2 guys lifting it and transporting it. Lol. I know that its heavy and cumbersome to move around odd shape 100lb of weight

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Not at all. We were just trying to get it out of the crate and all the packaging off without scratching it. I carried it all across the yard and have moved it several times myself with minimal effort

[@caseyshort7793]

So now that you have had it for a month or so. what do you think? Any additional thoughts?

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

Just absolutely loving it. Ran out in the bay and got some good ones this morning. It's running like a champ. The only thing that irritates me is it instantly throttles down if you take your hand off the tiller, there's no slow throttling down. Probably a great safety feature, but it is mildly irritating. Love everything else about it though

[@alexopweg]

Nice motor. How much does it cost please ???

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

I spent $2800 total

[@FrogJeep420]

Can this engine charge a battery?

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

If you have the electric start version it will. I got just the pull start as it was a bit cheaper

[@CarlosGarcia-op9kg]

Did you get the deal on outboards online? 2700?

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

I did! They were great to work with

[@CarlosGarcia-op9kg]

@@emeraldtidesoutdoors good to know man I definitely gotta get on that deal!

[@groupergary5536]

Bought an 8hp tahotsu overstock deal from online outboard.

[@ia6980]

Y not tohatsu 20?

[@emeraldtidesoutdoors]

The suzuki was cheaper and had better specs, also seems to have better resale value, in my area at least
