2004 90HP Suzuki on a 1750 Fishhawk

Reliability has been superb, this is a well built piece of machinery. Snaps out of the hole and is very athletic. It starts immediately regardless of the weather or outside temperature. I run my boat from ice out to ice up in all weather. Fuel economy is super. operation is very smooth and quiet.

Only gripe is that there is a small amount of backlash in the throttle making it difficult to maintain adjust speeds between 1.5 and 2.5 mph. Motor will not turn down to allow trolling speeds below 1.5 mph in forward. Don't get me wrong, the motor operates very smoothly at low speeds and can be run all day long that way, just a bit tricky to adjust speed. Not a big enough issue to consider adding a kicker to my rig, the big 90 does an adequate job.

I would definately buy another based on my experience.
