That's very good performance, about what I got from a Suzuki DF140 on a far smaller boat. I found my Suzuki engines to very quite, surprised you are finding it noisy. I sea trialled a Df 100 a few months ago and was impressed how smooth and quiet it was even at 6000rpm, however that was on a 15ft centre console, so didn't have to work very hard to push that boat along.
Sorry, don't know any good chandlers, there were a few on the Isle of Wight where I used to live but moved to the other side of the world now. I do have a full hydraulic steering set as a spare which came as part of a package deal with an engine I bought a few months ago but the postage would be way to much to send to the UK.

Get a Suzuki dealer to fit the MFG4, seems really complicated to me but I’m not a marine electronics expert. Ours took a Suzuki dealer a few attempts to get right and then I fitted a garmin plotter / fishfinder and used the NMEA 2000 connector to link up to the gauge… that wasn’t straightforward either.
where did you get your smartliner from ? Where will it be based ?

Cheers for the anode update, just saw a youtube video but never stopped to watch.
2022 engine probably about 100 hours use coming up. Missed the second years service through lack of use.
Getting 32knots that was a short run at wot, but cruises easy 25 I have other toys that do the speed thing.
I have from the start thought it quite a noisy engine. Not sure if its an engine/boat combination issue. The suzuki service centre checked it out and says its running perfect but it is a bit irritating.
Any idea who a good Chandler or source is for boat kit. Steeringbin my next purchase.
Cheers

I'm a novice boater, the boat is access to fishing grounds for me.
A few things need upgrading so I would be greatful for advice on the proper kit to be fitting on my boat.
No pictures of my boat in the water yet (Im usually on it)? all trailered pictures so far and not posting one of those.
I currently have a 2022 Smartliner Cuddy 21, upgraded from a Predator 16.5.
Cheers again all.
