MasterOfNone reporting here. I got my boat finally registered here about 3 weeks ago. Dipped my boat (16 ft aluminum V haul) to break the motor in to a lake. Very sluggish. Mine came stock with 5 inch travel prop so after break in that tells me WOT for 5 min is allowed, it bogged down with red light (Mind you I have heavy load. My Suzuki 9.9 was pushing about 1450 lbs at the time(boat weight and load (4 people))) at 5400'ish RPM. It would go up but it kept hitting REV limiter. Installed 20hp restrictor and 9.25 x 11 inch prop (no more REV limiter) , made world of difference but max RPM with same load. I could only get to 4400 RPM but 4400 RPM was great, very happy. It moved the load. Now I got 20hp ECU installed, with 1350 lbs (3 people with a dog), it hit 5400 RPM with no problem. Top speed of 18 mph. I've read that after 25 hour on the motor, It can peak max hp? Mine is at 17 hours. Will see. MasterOfNone out.

@masterofnone Wow it came with a 5” prop? Way too small for a 9.9 yeah i bet anybody hit rev limit with that .. was not your load was the prop pitch to small im close to rev limit with my stock 9” prop. Try a four blade prop for heavy loads.. 4400 rpm is too low for your now 20hp.. you want to run between 5300-6300 rpm.. step down your pitch to a 9” or 10”

Great video. Thank you. My question: if you replace the 9.9 horse restrictor plate with the 15 (or 20) horse restrictor plate and installed a larger prop, would it keep you within the rev limit for the 9.9 horse ECU. Or do you reach a point where you would have to swap out the ECU for some reason?

My question to you and anyone in the group who completed the upgrade to either 15 or 20hp is whether a noticable increase in power was noted at low to mid RPMs, or only at the high end because the WOT max was increased? For example would I expect to have greater speed (with proportional increased fuel consumption) at say 3500RPM (my expected typical cruising speed) after converting to 15 or 20hp? Thanks!
@dfabeagle718

Speed at RPM is a function of gearing and the propeller, given the same load . For your cruise RPM the fuel and speed hould be the same if tested in the same conditions. Fuel consumption shouldn't really change that much either because the engines displacement has not changed. The fuel requirements to make X amount of horsepower don't noticeably change, usually somewhere around .5 lb of fuel per hp per hour. Where you should feel the difference is under heavy load or heavy throttle application. 20 HP uses more fuel at .5 pounds per horsepower per hour than 10 HP, but if you're only asking it for, say, 6hp (estimate for the example) to push your vessel at 3500 RPM they are going to be very similar. Wide open, higher max RPM, and increased load will change all of that of course. You'll feel the difference and economy will suffer for a while, who knows how long, because you will have it wide open all the time and be grinning like an idiot from the difference in power. Sometimes that wears off after a while, sometimes it gets worse and then you go buy a 30hp and start thinking about how to hop it up. :)

That is not a restrictor. It's an air-swirl plate, intended to improve fuel atomisation by generating stable air flow around the throat of the throttle body, assisting the spray pattern the injector produces. All you have done is disturb this airflow, resulting in instabilties in that airflow around the injector at load/rpm ranges, unless you have altered the fuel mapping to compensate. The moral of this story is: don't mess with things that the manufacturer has engineers spending time to develop unless you know *exactly* what it is for, how it works and why.

its LITERALLY called a restrictor plate on suzukis site and diagrams . YES , it MAY help with swirl but the 9/15/20 hp egg beaters ALL have the SAME injectors , intake , throttle body . Only difference is the 9 has a tight plate , the 15 is a bit bigger and the 20 has a full bore screen w/no restrictions . and yes , they DO have different ecms , elc/man for the 9 , elec / man 15 , elec / man 20 The 3 even have the same two camshaft options , elec/man So , technically , the only difference from 9 to 20 is glorious washer and a ecm tune Does tossing the plate make it a full 5 hp up ? Highly doubt it w/o the ecm to match BUT , Im sure it gives a few % points . As far as A/F ratio .... a redneck way of using the OG ecm and bumping up fueling would be to remove the IAT sensor , measure your ohms at normal ambient temp , find a resistor to trick the ecm into thinking its , say 30*f outside . BUT , it does have a MAP sensor , youd have to hook up SDS but im willing to bet the ecm is more than capable of using the new MAP readings/values to correct the A/F after removing the R-plate . If thats the case then the only diff in ecm is timing and im too lazy to pull out SDS or the book and see what total timing is on all 3 . If timing is THE ONLY diff in the ecms then a work around would be to SLIGHTLY enlogate the pickup sensor mounting holes and advance the sensor its self OR search for days for a offset flywheel keyway , IF its keyed and not splined .

its LITERALLY called a restrictor plate on suzukis site and diagrams . YES , it MAY help with swirl but the 9/15/20 hp egg beaters ALL have the SAME injectors , intake , throttle body . Only difference is the 9 has a tight plate , the 15 is a bit bigger and the 20 has a full bore screen w/no restrictions . and yes , they DO have different ecms , elc/man for the 9 , elec / man 15 , elec / man 20 The 3 even have the same two camshaft options , elec/man So , technically , the only difference from 9 to 20 is glorious washer and a ecm tune Does tossing the plate make it a full 5 hp up ? Highly doubt it w/o the ecm to match BUT , Im sure it gives a few % points . As far as A/F ratio .... a redneck way of using the OG ecm and bumping up fueling would be to remove the IAT sensor , measure your ohms at normal ambient temp , find a resistor to trick the ecm into thinking its , say 30*f outside . BUT , it does have a MAP sensor , youd have to hook up SDS but im willing to bet the ecm is more than capable of using the new MAP readings/values to correct the A/F after removing the R-plate . If thats the case then the only diff in ecm is timing and im too lazy to pull out SDS or the book and see what total timing is on all 3 . If timing is THE ONLY diff in the ecms then a work around would be to SLIGHTLY enlogate the pickup sensor mounting holes and advance the sensor its self OR search for days for a offset flywheel keyway , IF its keyed and not splined .
