Hi ALex,
snip
I have spoken with Jerry at Advanced Marine. (Craven Rd, Jacksonville
FL) Advance Marine is a factory authorized Suzuki and Tohatsu repair and
sales shop. Jerry had shown me the Suzuki's on board computer which
records the engine's use over its life span. The motor (90hp) we were
looking at was 2 1/2 years old. It looked well used too. Downright
scruffy!

I was astonished to see the computer had recorded over 18,000 hours of
use.

Be suspicious. 2.5 years is only 21,900 hours (24*365*2.5). So apparently
they never turned the motor off, except for christmas and hurricanes.
seems a little hard to believe.
