Thanks for your awesome video! I used it to replace the water pump on my Suzuki DT30. Never realized it was so easy. You explain things great!

[@MikeFloutier]

Many thanks D-Ray, I'm about to change my DF50's impeller for the first time so I found your film extremely helpful, especially all the extra detail such as remembering the gear linkage position and all the (minimal) greasing. Thanks again!

[@supreetsingh7589]

I have a 2005 DT30... I have no doubt it is exactly the same process. Thank you very much..that was excellent...look forward to learning more from you !!
Cheers Michael.. Perth, Western Australia..

[@haugheyboyscolorgarden8460]

Man, this saved the day. Followed your instructions and checked our impeller, and oh boy did it need changed. Great video!

[@ronsteitz4535]

Glad I watched your video as I own this same motor since new. Boat dealers are high priced and say they are to busy. Your video gave me the confidence to do it my self. I did the job without an issue. 👍 Thank-You

[@charlieskeeter1]

[@Joburgbass]

Thanks mate, I'll be doing the service on my DT40 for the first time and your video is informative, clear and therfor very helpful. Good job.

[@bmsamson]

Really good videos. I really like the level of detail that some gloss over, and the explanations for why you're doing things a certain way. Thank you!

[@jamesbrown9099]

This was an excellent presentation with all the detail necessary to make it easy to follow. Thank you.

[@Espekta]

Great! Just fixed it on my dt40 in 30 minutes, first time ever! Thats thanks to this vid. keep the good work up!

[@edmcguire6799]

Well done video d-ray I never had to replace pump impeller before. I was a little nervous about do it yourself. Great video what a relief.

[@randyfisher9278]

This is just what the doctor ordered! I have and older 15 horse 2 cycle and I believe that the lower unit is the same as your video. Thanks a bunch!

[@beartrap40]

You sure do a good job of explaining what you are doing and how it is done, Makes it all easy to follow, Thanks for such a great Job.

[@briankoser5740]

You are the best. Could listen to you all day. Thank you.

[@brianmckenelley9015]

This video is great I will be tackling mine in the next few days. Very easy to follow your video.

[@rogermann3930]

I really appreciate the info. I was wrestling with this thing, and could not find out how to get the shifter loose. Great video!!

[@thomasorr4479]

Thanks so much D-Ray, you make a very good explanation, short and concise and very clear video, I would like to see something related with my Suzuki DT4 year 86, at the moment in the gear case and water pump. thanks again

[@johnelliott4657]

Good video. Very helpful in preparing to change impleller on my DF40 and finishing same job on my Yamaha F6MLH. Thanks Ray!

[@Panchdara]

Thanks for that. I have to do same on a DT40. You explained the gear linkage excellently! Thanks much. One side.. I will be using aluma-slip (silver anti-sieze, NOT the coppaslip) on the gear housing bolts. Best regards.

[@alexgoncalves4113]

Great video. I am brazil and not speak english but understand all the video msg. Congratulations Ray. Very good.

[@marcelvanbloemendal4663]

thanks for the video. although my outboard motor is quite old, it's still working fine and the maintenance is easy to DIY with this video. greetings from the Netherlands...

[@petterbirath3097]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Priceless for someone like me😀

[@terryclark50]

Thanks for the video, didn't know how easy it was, you saved me a lot of money!!!

[@winshima]

Really good video. Thanks for the instruction, I'm ready to tackle this myself on a DT15 Suzuki.

[@gqhall]

Thank ya DRay. I'm fixin to do mine and this was a good refresher. Keep em comin!!

[@BRCrabb1971]

thank you for the awesome step by step video. Made my life much easier.

[@wladtheimpaler]

greetings and thankyou from australia. working on my outboard isn't a chore with your great help

[@chucksullivan5931]

Helped me a lot. Finally learned that Johnson/Evinrude utilized Suzuki motors. Helps find parts for my 03 J/E/Suzuki.

[@leobernier4225]

Tks for the great advice, it helped me do my own impeller change so saved me a couple hundred bucks. !!

[@georgepittman6468]

Awesome, thanks for the help with that part, I have another problem while on the water the other day I hit something and I think I broke a shear pin. The motor will reverse and back up with no problem but when shifted into forward all the motor does is just rev's the motor. I've taken the prop off and got down to the lower unit housing, now I need help. Thanks, George in NC

[@mjgrif70]

Great video D-Ray! Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@hectorfontan884]

Thanks for the video and to share your experience!

[@chris-danaevans1515]

Excellent video. Very informative. I have a mid 80's model Suzuki 9.9 oil injected outboard and the owners manual advises bleading the oil to insure there are no air bubbles in the line but I can't find the drain plug. I'd like to see a video on that.

[@2135andy]

[@tonyzhou9021]

[@billythekid5196]

Is a same year dt40 same for the shift linkage? Thanks

[@johns2453]

i have that same motor 95 ..i use it for crabbin .runs like a swiss clock, thanks for the vid.

[@sswheels123]

Great video Ray. Do you have a vid on replacing the fuel pump diaphragm on a 99' 2 stroke Suzuki 25 hp outboard? Thanks.

[@markprylowski9779]

D-Ray, thank you for the video. It is very detailed and clear. I have 2 questions? 1-Does it matter which gear the shifter is in when you remove the collared nut to disconnect it? and also 2-Can you recommend the grease you use to lightly coat the inside of the impeller housing and the impeller. Thanks again

[@scottmansfield7589]

Easy to follow

[@flemmingmller2782]

Thank You it helpt me a lot.

[@Matteoilpiace]

thanks for your video!!!

[@liamcasey8917]

this helps so much thanks!

[@jhonec6584]

You are great very loud eight knowledgeable love watching

[@DRaysShop]

It will be mostly the same procedure, only difference being the shift linkage. You will need to drop your lower unit down a few inches to gain access to a clevis pin that attaches the shift rod to the lower unit.

[@owyagarnmate]

D-Ray...Great video mate. Can you tell me if the DT30C has the same lower leg and therefore the same job? If it is, I reckon I could give it a go myself after watching your video. You make it look too easy. I'm in Australia and I love the fact that a bloke on the other side of the world can show me how to work on my outboard motor while I'm sitting in front of my computer. Awesome..Thanks.

[@spankeyh27]

Great video! I have the DT 30. Can you do one on removing and cleaning the carbs? That would be awesome!!!

[@gordonwalters7821]

Bloody beaut description mate; thanks. (The 'OZZIE bloke)

[@Schellhammers]

thanks! Great instruction. Do you know of any major differences for a DT25 Suz. 4-stroke ?

[@noyopacific]

Thanks!

[@ronsteitz4535]

This winter I would like to change my thermostat and fuel filter as a dealer thought it might be a good idea for me to do as a precautionary project. Haven’t found anyone on U -Tube doing these procedures 🤔

[@madstoffer]

nice,thanks a million.great stuff.klaus.denmark.

[@matthewroberts6144]

I ran through the steps on your video, which was great and very helpful, however I think I’m having an issue with the clutch or upper end of my shifter, from the console the external lever on the side of the motor moves, however the shift rod does not move to change the gear in the lower end. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

[@DRaysShop]

Thanks man, I bet you can handle it!

[@DRaysShop]

Thanks man!

[@DRaysShop]

I sometimes use a heat gun, some of those fasteners use loctite and can be a challenge to remove without damaging them.

[@jamesjohnstone237]

That's helped me load's thanks

[@jimdrechsel]

great videos. I watched changing the oil video and tried this myself on a 250 yahmaha outboard and the drain plug stripped out the thread when I unscrewed it. I noticed a couple bolts holding in a flange on each side of the plug hole thread. Do you know if that will allow me to replace the thread or is is part of the casting? If it does, do you know of any tricks to get out the stainless bolts without snapping them off in the casting? A little heat maybe?

[@coryculp9360]

Good advice. Got anything on carb cleaning for same motor?

[@cloudk2030]

Thanks for the Video Ray- I’m looking at the same motor near me - clean as a whistle - he wants 1000 bucks. Would you say this is one of them motors that will run on forever with proper maintenance? Any known issues? Should I just go for a Yamaha instead

[@DRaysShop]

Great! So when are we openin' th Denmark branch of D-Ray's Shop?

[@doinnowt]

That went in easy, took me about two hours to get the gearbox on my 5 HP mariner lined up, even thought I might have to take it to the shop, suddenly it just slipped in

[@garymangum4850]

IS there any thing different with a 2001 Suz DT 140 lmpeller replacement; especially wondering about the shift linkage connections.

[@Petro-1986]

Thumbs Up!

[@ronsteitz4535]

Ray, I have a 1996 just like yours I bought new. It’s been a real honey all this time. Been thinking about a new Suzuki 25 hp four stroke just for power tilt and trim.. Am I making a good decision ?

[@adammoore1523]

does the lower unit on a 1995, 115hp suzuki drop down the same way as the 25? thanks

[@ChandlerHClough]

question, why pump from the bottom vs bolt the bottom and fill the top until it comes out? I'm guessing to get the air out?

[@briandouglas1674]

Hello, do you have any videos on the Dt 55 ? Replacing impeller but some videos show a rubber plug on side to disconnect things but mine doesn’t have that so wondering if it’s as easy as this one just undo the bolts a lower? It has remote shift and steering , any info would be appreciated
