Suzuki has ALWAYS had problems with there aluminum. I'm not knocking them as I actually like SUZUKI's and have reccomended them, BUT you must be aware that there aluminum has always been on the poor side, and corrosion plagued. I'm actually not a big Yamaha fan, but theres one on the back of my skiff because I know they make a quality engine, they hold up, use better aluminum, and have taken measures to stop corrosion from becoming an issue. Suzuki on the other hand is still known for corrosion problems in high salinity areas or don't get flushed religously. And flushing is no guarantee either. I've seen engines that had the best care in the world end up being junked once they needed the 1st work because there was just nothing left inside for gaskets to seal too.
