Im getting ready to do some spring work on my Susuki '08 DF140 4-str. I would like to install a water pump repair kit this year as I ran into a lot of low water(sand) last year. Is this something a fairly good home mechanic can do?? I do oil, plugs, bearings on my own and have tools. The dealership is a long way from the house.
Not to sound like a wimp or naysayer....but if the motor is an '08, you might want to consider a few "long way" trips to drop the motor off and then pick it up from an authorized Suzi repair shop (not necessarily the dealer, and not even always a boat engine repair shope). My assumption would be that since the motor is 2 years old, it's under warranty. Get it done once, correctly. You do it wrong this time, they might not cover the fix it to fix your mistakes.....
Just thinking here. |
