I have a 2019 DF140 with about 180hrs and it has been faultless. It is on a Seaforce 530 and economy is great at about 650ml/nm. ]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2023 15:32:11 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1835362&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1835362 <![CDATA[Yamaha f130a or Suzuki df140 : For me, the decision to repower...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1835361&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1835361 Author: ikanui

For me, the decision to repower was really due to the current motor (2013 115 etec, gen 1) starting to rack up the service bills and becoming unreliable with warning alarms going off during most trips. The latest being the flywheel magnets coming loose which a quick google search seems to be a common and expensive fault. I no longer have the confidence in it to go out wide, so boating (especially taking the kids out) loses its gloss pretty quick. 
Have made the call to go for the Suzuki DF140BGT, hopefully can post some positive reviews on it after the summer!

Well  the zuki seems the deal but , 600hrs aint a whole big lot  on the old ( proven ) motor . Your still lookin at 18k  plus any interest to buy new . 18k gets you at least 6000 litres of fuel which @ 20l/hr is 300 hrs motoring, figure in that the new donk will use say 10l/hr anyway and you have 600 hrs the difference . How long would it take you to do 600hrs ( and dont say 600 hrs either Tongue)I mean how many years would it take to tick up 600hrs in the boat .]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2023 14:54:54 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1835359&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1835359 <![CDATA[Yamaha f130a or Suzuki df140 : Hi, have come across this thread...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1835355&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1835355 Author: ikanui

Got the boat back on Friday, and took it out yesterday. I can say that I am absolutely pleased the Suzuki 140, so quiet, hasn't changed the way the boat sits in the water. Why didn't I go four stroke sooner I kept asking myself.

So did 85km (from tutukaka to north then out to taiharuru reef and back to tutukaka) and used 38L. Trolling speed uses 4.7-5.3L/hr and cruising at 4k rpm uses about 13L/hr. Averages 2.3km/L

It's almost 1/3 of what the yam 115 used in that distance and what with most of it sitting at 4k rpm.
WOT reaches 63km/hr

Very happy ]]> Sun, 24 Apr 2016 08:53:00 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1633419&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1633419 <![CDATA[Yamaha f130a or Suzuki df140 : Good to hear man never bought...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1628136&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1628136 Author: BattleCat

End of 2015 got a new 12.5ft tinny. Same process. Ended up getting the 25hp 4 stroke suzuki from warren.

You wont be dissapointed with the suzuki extremely happy with them and the service you get at warren hay

Going to look sharp when she's done.
Have certainly noticed more dukes around these days , bet yammies market share in n.z has taken a hammering .
Maybe the importer is operating out of Ozzi or the states and just doesn't care ?.]]> Wed, 23 Mar 2016 06:17:08 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116536&PID=1628008&title=yamaha-f130a-or-suzuki-df140#1628008
