Suzuki repower questions

[DTrain]

I dont think its throttle responce , I think in genneral 4 strokes opperate at a higher rpm range. What I am saying is when comming into port at the lowest rpm to stay on plane , you will have to increase your rpm earlier going into someones elses wake to stay on plane .
Its hard to explane , but its just a different way of using the power

To (hopefully helpfully) re-phrase a bit:

At a given rpm a 4-stroke outboard will generally have less torque than a 2-stroke, so in order to achieve the same power output, you have to run at a higher rpm (power is roughly rpm x torque). At a constant boat speed, the 4-stroke is relying on more rpm to make the same power that the 2-stroke is making using its torque. When trying to accelerate from a given boat speed, the 4-stroke has less torque available so requires more time to pick up speed.

All yes and maybe......... I'm really surprised by your response. You don't repower without some $$ spent on prop's and motor height changes. A fuel management system is not optional, as far as I'm concerned. It is Mandatory!

The Suzzy's are geared lower and as such can swing a Larger prop. Thus......More traction than a Yamaha or Honda.
