The 2006 Suzuki 90 is one of the series (90,115 and 140) which has a corrosion problem with an iron plug in the aluminum housing. Although Suzuki never rally admitted the problem, it was solved from 2008 on by eliminating this plug. If you can back the iron plug out, and replace it with an aluminum plug or hole saw out the plug and have a 1" aluminum piece of rod welded in the hole, the problem is solved. Other wise these engines are great. _________________ Bob Austin

Thanks Bob. I'm going to contact the mechanic who maintained the engine and see if this was ever done. |

curioustraveler, My Suzuki is a 2011, I have had it for about 3 yrs. Its on the back of a sailboat so I have only put about 25 hours on it, been doing to much fishing. The only things I have done to it are change the oil and the zinks. There are 5 zinks on it. One under the water intake strainer,
one on the bottom of the mounting bracket, and 3 in the water jacket between the cylinders accessed from the port side of the engine.
If you get one of the CD19's,make sure it has trim tabs on it, they are a must have item. If you get fog where you cruise, you will want radar. Also check to make sure the surge breaks, tires, bearings and lights on the trailer are good. good luck. |
