Suzuki Engine Part Labels FAQ
What should I know about Suzuki Outboard Engine Part Labels?
Here’s some info you need to know about Suzuki Engine Parts Labels::
- Suzuki outboard motor covers are a great way of preserving your Suzuki Engine Part Labels and graphics. By limiting exposure to UV rays, the dangers of trailering, and the storage environment, you ensure that these Suzuki Engine Labels.
- Some Suzuki Engine Labels show similar information that you’ll find on a Suzuki outboard parts diagrams. By matching stickers and an info included on the sticker (ie. type of gasoline to use, oil capacities), you can service your outboard in confidence.
- Using Suzuki Marine Spray Paint is a great way to protect your engine; however, you should use painter’s tape to avoid spraying over your stickers. As a best-practice, replace stickers after giving the outboard a fresh coat and an appealing “like-new” look.
- For reselling your engine, having fresh Suzuki outboards parts labels and graphics boost the resale value. Even if the entire internal engine components are regularly serviced with OEM Susuki outboard parts and in good condition, scuffed Suzuki logos on the Suzuki outboard cowling may have buyers thinking twice due to any perceived damage to the Suzuki engine.
Are Suzuki Outboard Motor Covers worth the investment?
We get it. Suzuki outboard motor covers are yet another thing you are told you need to buy for your engine. But is this investment necessary? This area is subjective in some ways, but in other ways, it is not.
One issue is cosmetic. Do you want your Suzuki outboard’s cowling to look new and shiny for as long as possible? Yet another issue is not cosmetic but is part of your overall effort to maintain your engine. Your Suzuki’s cowling is like the skin on your body. Just as our skin does a great job of protecting our body’s systems, your cowling protects its own precious cargo—your engine.
Just as our skin takes a lot of abuse—sun damage, cuts, bruises, environmental contamination—so does your cowling. In the southern states, UV rays are especially intense. For example, boats and engines alike spend a lot of time baking nearly year-round in the Florida sun. In the northern states, boats may not be exposed for as many months of the year and the UV rays might not be quite as strong, but a lot of damage can still be done.
Another source of harm is trailering. If you trailer your boat, your cowling is likely to be struck by stones, rocks, and other road debris as you tool down the highway. Scratches and dings are the low end of the damage—cracks and punctures in your Suzuki cowling are more serious.
Finally, environmental elements like saltwater spray or acid rain could collide with your cowling at some point. Suzuki outboard cowling cover do not eliminate all of these problems, but they sure do help a great deal.
Suzuki engine cover are made of durable SurLast solution-dyed polyester fabric. SurLast fabric offers strong protection against the harsh marine environment. The fabric is nonabrasive; water-resistant; and resistant to UV rays, mold, and mildew. Suzuki outboard engine covers are also designed to perfectly fit your specific Suzuki outboard engine model.
Given this information, we think it is best to calculate the risk-reward ratio of investing in a Suzuki outboard motor cover and go from there.
- Cost of Suzuki outboard motor covers: $35 to $152, depending on engine size
- Cost of a new Suzuki cowling assembly: $300 to $1,900
- Cost of refurbishing and repainting a Suzuki cowling: $350 to $750
- Cost of Marine Spray Paint: About $21 to $45, depending on engine size
- Cost of Suzuki OEM replacement decals and labels: $62 to $130
So, you be the judge. We believe Suzuki outboard motor covers are well worth the cost to protect your outboard when it is not in use, but you will come to your own conclusion.
Proper Suzuki maintenance requires genuine Suzuki outboard parts and products – PartsVu is happy to help.
How do I clean my fiberglass fishing boat?
While often overlooked, performing routine fiberglass hull maintenance is necessary to maintain and restore fiberglass shine. Regularly cleaning and protecting your boat’s exterior will keep your investment looking newer longer. But, when you look across the marine industry, there are so many boat wax and boat polish options – which ones are the best?
Boats should be polished and/or waxed when they are out of the water, so you’ll likely be conducting the job when your boat in on a trailer or storage pad. Additionally, make sure you can freely move around all sides of the boat.
Before you do anything to your boat’s exterior, you need to first clean it. We recommend using lots of fresh water and a soap intended for marine use. If you are in a saltwater environment, you will want to be sure that all salt is removed as it can interfere and break down boat wax and boat polish products.
Also, be aware that salt is good at hiding in any cracks and crevices as well as overhangs such as T-Tops and/or hardtops. After a good lathering, make sure to give a thorough rinse using clean fresh water and a reasonable amount of water pressure. After you’ve finished cleaning off the salt and surface dirt, you can begin the compounding and waxing process.
If your boat has any removable fittings, remove them. Removing fittings will help to prevent your buffer from getting caught. It can also be pretty tedious trying to hand wax around fittings. Of course, when you remove fitting make sure that you organize your hardware effectively so that reassembly is easy.
It is not necessary to polish your boat every time you wax it, but you will want to polish it anytime the finish looks dull, faded, pitted, or scratched. When polishing your boat, start at the back and work your way towards the bow.
Apply the wax either by hand or electric buffer using circular motions much in the same way you applied the polish. Wait until the wax is hazy, indicating that it is dry. Then buff the wax until it shines using a soft towel.

How do I protect the exterior my Suzuki outboard motor?
For the exterior of your Suzuki Outboard Engine and Suzuki Cowling, Graphics, Emblems, and Labels, cover these surfaces with anti-corrosion products like Corrosion Guard. This rust inhibitor forms a water-resistant barrier on both painted and unpainted surfaces. We recommend using it at every service interval with a liberal application to all metal engine surfaces. You can also use it on outdrives, lower units, and power trim motors.
The marine environment is one of the harshest on the planet. This is why protecting your boat from corrosion is extremely important. For premium defense against rust, we highly recommend this product.
Also, PartsVu carries Suzuki Marine Spray Paint. The durable enamel coating of these spray paint products, in factory-matched colors, provide excellent coverage against the elements. Everything you need to restore or customize your cowling cover.
Suzuki marine spray paints are high-quality, factory-matched spray paint for touch-ups or full overcoat application. This durable enamel coating provides good performance in the rigors of the marine environment. As is the case with any painting task, surface preparation is very important. Note that paint may fade over time on an outboard motor exposed to the elements over time, so the factory-fresh color supplied in this can may not match older paint exactly. Therefore, the application area may need to be larger to provide for proper blending of the color.
