Suzuki parts....

[UFBeef]

Just moved up here about a year ago, looking for a local supplier for Suzuki parts that actually has parts in stock in the Crawfordville, St. Marks or Tally areas. Any recommendations would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Shields Marina in St. Marks is a Suzuki dealer. 850-925-6158.

Thanks SK! I'll check them out.

I went into Parkway, after a dissertation about why they didn't like Suzuki's and all the problems with the motors and the company, they didint stock any parts except water pump kits that I needed.

I'll try Shields, but thanks for the heads up.

I own a Suzuki and love it! I order my parts on line from Browns Suzuki Marina, East Point Md. - I think? They are very helpful in taking orders and so far have had nothing but successes in my ordering. My 115 Suzuki has given us very good service. Some areas of the country run mostly Suzuki. Our area seems to like Mercury and other brands. Most all major brands seem to be good engines. The "nut" behind the helm is an important part of how well any engine preforms.

That is strange. They talked my BIL out of an etech and into a Suzuki. Said the warantee was similar and it came with all of the lines and tank, for a little less $.

That's classic. I may have to borrow that one for my Boat Talk column sometime.

The Suzukis I have run when testing boats have all been good performers. Lots of power throughout the range and noticeably light for four-strokes. The knock against them has always been a fractured dealer network/support, but that is now changing.

Hopefully Dennis at Shields will be able to fix you up with your parts needs.

I'm from Okeechobee, we had a full service Zuke dealer there that always had everything I needed. I prefer to keep my money local, but not going to have time to get to Shields. I ended up ordering from Brownspoint.
I've been very happy with my Zuke. Most of the Seatow and commercial guys on the Lake and coast all ran Zuke with thousands of hours and no conplaints.
Thanks for the advice guys!
