My 2004 Johnson 6HP 4 stroke was exactly like this I could not find a video to save my life and one part said Suzuki and here we are 😂 exactly what I needed
My brand new DF4A (20 hours on it now) doesn't have any better water flow than yours did before the impeller change. Probably was fine there... but thanks for the video. When mine needs replacing, I'll watch this again.
I have the 5hp engine 2013 model and what i found out is that the water flow is stopped or bothered in the engine itself ! most of the time you just need to take a pice of metal wire and put it in the output hole of the water just a inch in there and it will be fixed most of the time. Either way good video
That is my experience too. It doesn't take much dirt in the water for the tell-tale nozzle to be clogged up. I usually clean it like you described after just a few running hours. You can remove the tell-tale nozzle to flush out any dirt left inside the engine, but be aware that the crappy brittle plastic nozzle usually gets stuck and is very likely to break when you remove it. So I don't do that without having a spare nozzle and some kind of extraction tools at hand. I apply grease at the nozzle's threads when remounting it. Anyways, I replace the impeller every other year or so regardless of the tell-tale, just to be on the safe side. I have noticed that when don't use the engine for 6 months or so the impeller blades might get stiff and permanently bent.
shame you skipped some parts. l was wondering about how to get off that black rubber thing on the gear rod,to be able to put the new gaskets on ? Mine is similar but 2 stroke.
Great video, thank you for sharing. I would like to know if I you recommend me to change my impeller, I have a 2018 DF6A with 200 hours of use. It is working flawless and every year I do an oil change with filter. Also I would like to know if a pump diaphragm might be a good decition. I will appreciate any other maintenance information to increase reliability as sometimes I sail in remote lakes with limited communication. Thank you!
Thanks for this. I was having cooling water flow issues on my 2016 Suzuki 6hp o/b, just changed the impeller with no noticeable improvement. I feel steady pulse of air at the outflow hole, but that's it. No obstruction at the intake grate or the pipe from the water pump up to the head, so I suppose that means I have to crack the head (& cylinder?) and look for and clear obstruction somewhere in the casting? Any tips?
Good evening, congratulations on the video. I have the same engine as the one in the video, Suzuki df 6cv 4t from 2004. I would like to know if possible, what is the load torque for closing the cylinder head bolts, that I have to change the cylinder head gasket. Thanks bye.
What about the other hole which has also something with water.. the one closer to propeler (one with bolt..)... What is the function of that pipe..?? Pls help... mine is seemed to be closed...
I thought that was the whole point of a pee hole? To act as a liquid exhaust. The water gets circulated through engine to keep it cool but I think it spits the exhaust (heat) out with the water out the pee hole.

Great video, Thanks from Denmark 👍
Thanks for posting very informative keep it up 👍👍🛠
Very useful ! I have done it by myself following the video instructions. Thank you Mark
Very easy task
Hi jorge thanks for watching ATB
Mark
I always thought the leg was filled with a heavy weight oil.
I would love to see a complete fluids change of the 6hp
shame you skipped some parts. l was wondering about how to get off that black rubber thing on the gear rod,to be able to put the new gaskets on ? Mine is similar but 2 stroke.
Muy buen video !!! Gracias por las explicaciones. Muy útil.
Nice one Mark, thanks..
Very welcome
Thanks for the video from Russia!
wow thanks for watching from uk ;-)
A 6 cyl engine like that would be sick :)
yep they make plenty of them lol

Yes, absolutely. Or at least take enough tools to do the job and a spare impeller keep doing what your doing engine will last a lifetime

Check thermostat also parallel with impeller!

Thanks for doing video.
David Bybee thanks for watching

Boa noite eu tenho um Suzuki 5 hp DT5Y 2 tempo a água sai frango será normal
I couldn't find the proper box end wrench so I used a socket wrench with a ratchet. Is that okay?
as lond as it dose the job mate
Thanks thanks thanks
Most welcome
What direction does the impeller rotate?
clockwise !!!
What kind of oil or lubricant do you put on the parts
Should the df25 v-twin be similar?
I acant get the lu to seat properly
Hi I have the same engine has it got a oil filter any help
no filter
@@MrMeltedwellies
The new models have oil filter. Fits from suzuki 125 ccm MC. Cheaper to bay from MC dealer, than the marine dealer 🤣
@@ronthegunman5724 thanks
I have a 8 hp Suzuki boat motor when I run it the water that comes out of the bottom of the motor is steaming hot. Why?
probably corroded thermostat

you need to put electrical tape around your tiller like a 30-30

I love the part where you showed us where you actually remove the lower unit because mine is fucking welded together it feels like
did you do it
@MrMeltedwellies Yes your video was what helped
