    Annode location

    Hello all, I have a 22’ Lowe pontoon and I was pondering putting an Annode or two on the toons. I am wondering where to put them. I have lifting strakes on the inside of each toon and was thinking of attaching them to it. (Inside of strake ? Outside of strake?) My thoughts being that...

    Pontoon trailer setup

    My new to me pontoon trailer seems to not be set up right. I need some help figuring out what is off. With the trailer level, the equalizer is slanted forward about 15-25 degrees and the front axle tires appear to be bearing more weight than the rears based on the visual that the tires with...

    White Smoke😑

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65. It is barely running. It starts with the throttle lever up and then will idle very rough and smoke (blue smoke). But when I put it into gear or accelerate, it will die and produce lots of white smoke. Then it won’t start again for the rest of the day. I looked at the...

    Dt65 oil injection

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65. The oil injection does not work properly. The oil only pumps to the impulse ports/check valves on the crank case, but not past. Today, I removed the hoses from where the connect to the intake and filled them with oil. The top cylinder hose held oil, but the #2 just...

    Transom height advice

    Hello, I am restoring a Lowe 1448 Jon that I will be putting a 15 hp mercury on. The anti ventilation plate is about -1 1/2” below the bottom of the boat. Based on what I have read in other posts, I feel like I need to raise where the motor sits. I have read that the anti vent plate needs to...

    Oil injection ports dt65

    Hello all. I have a 1985 dt65. I am trying to get my oil injections system up to snuff. I just can’t seem to get oil to the connection ports consistently. Each line seems to get oil at a different rate. The pump appears to be pumping and it does not appear worn on any of its internal parts...

    Idle timing process

    Hello all. I have a 2001 Mercury 15M. The motor is new to me and so is the process of adjusting the timing. It runs alright, but I’m trying to get it dialed in well. I have a Clymer manual that provides pretty straightforward instructions on the subject, however I am struggling with step 1🤪...

    Suzuki dt65 parts or project?

    I have a 1987 Suzuki dt65 that I purchased as a parts motor. I bought it from a guy who said the head was seized. Turned out to be just a rusted drive shaft bearing in the lower unit. So the power head turns smooth, no scoring on cylinders. I was hoping that the motor was restorable...

    New aluminum prop rubs slightly

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65. I bought it used with a stainless steel prop on it that seemed to fit just fine. I have since bought an aluminum prop to replace it. The new prop spins fine until I torque it down to the specified 40 ft/lbs, then it rubs just ever so slightly slightly on the gear...

    Driveshaft bearing race

    I have a 1987 Suzuki dt65 that I have no idea what the history is. I have been taking apart the lower unit to see if it is worth salvaging. All the components I have pulled so far seem to be in good shape. However, the driveshaft bearing pretty much fell apart when I pulled the driveshaft...

    Prop shaft help

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65. I bought a new aluminum prop to replace the stainless prop it came with. When I torqued the alum prop down (40lbs) it would rub against the bearing carrier housing, the stainless one didn’t. After looking at the parts diagram it appears to be missing the washer that...

    Suzuki dt65 years of parts compatibility

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65. Suzuki’s are fairly rare in my area. There is a 2002 dt65 with a seized head for sale nearby that cosmetically looks to be in very good shape. And frankly (from pictures) looks very similar. would the 2002 model have very many parts compatible with my 1985 model?

    Oil injection ports dt65

    Can the oil injection ports on a 1985 Suzuki dt65 be cleaned or replaced? Motor is new to me and I don’t know it’s history, but was not running when I took ownership. I don’t think oil is getting to the crankcase. When I blew compressed air through the port on the #2 crankcase fitting, I...

    1985 dt65 oil injection questions

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65 with oil injection. On the gear inside the oil pump, are the two bumps supposed to be flat on top or pointed? I am trying to determine if the pump is worn out. It is not pumping correctly, in fact hardly at all. Also the brass ports where the oil injects Into the...

    Exhaust fumes coming out thermostat housing

    Hello all, I’m new here, but very excited to be on this forum. I’ve been learning so much! I have a 1985 Suzuki DT65. It is new to me but I don’t know much about it’s history. I’m an effort to try and descale the motor, (which I should note it only had a light amount of scale) I took off...
