I cant say Ive noticed the weight too much.
The Suz replaced a Yam 115 two stroke plus aux.
I’ve halved my fuel bill.
The extra power is incredible, so much so that the steering is extremely heavy under load. I have hydraulic steering being put on next week. $$ hurts a bit!
I’m delighted with the motor except like you, I find the keyless system a pain with the trim/ tilt switch. The boat shop mechanic recommended it free of charge as it was his first install. Now replacing it free of charge with the key start and a separate trim/tilt switch.
Got into a ‘situation’ where a craypot rope got caught up around the prop….. had to stop motor, power up, then tilt motor to free up prop. etc……
I’ve had several outboards over 40 years of fishing. This Suz is by far the best.
Thanks for your reply.
