Suzuki 4-4-2 Program: Trade In Your Old 2-Stroke for a New Suzuki Outboard
Turn Your Old 2-Stroke Into a New Suzuki 4-Stroke
Have an older 2-stroke outboard on your boat?
Now may be the time to consider a Suzuki repower.
The Suzuki Marine 4-4-2 Program is an eco-friendly marine trade-in initiative designed to help boaters upgrade from older, higher-emission 2-stroke outboards to modern Suzuki 4-stroke technology.
And you don't have to own a Suzuki to take advantage of the program.
Any 2-stroke outboard can qualify for the trade-in program, regardless of brand, age or mechanical condition, when brought to a participating dealer and subject to the program's terms.
At Lime Lake Marine & RV in Delevan, NY, we're here to help you determine whether your boat and existing motor are a good fit for a Suzuki repower.

How Does the Suzuki 4-4-2 Program Work?
The concept is simple: trade in an old 2-stroke and upgrade to a new Suzuki 4-stroke.
Here's how the program works:
1. Trade In Any 2-Stroke Outboard
Your existing motor doesn't have to be a Suzuki.
The Suzuki 4-4-2 Program allows participating dealers to accept any 2-stroke outboard, regardless of:
Brand
Age
Mechanical condition
Whether you've been running an older Suzuki, Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude, Yamaha or another brand of 2-stroke, your motor may qualify for the program.
Your traditional trade-in value is determined as part of the transaction.
2. Receive an Additional Suzuki Promotional Discount
Here's where the 4-4-2 Program can make your repower especially interesting.
In addition to your traditional trade-in value, you can receive an exclusive promotional discount toward a new Suzuki 4-stroke outboard.
That means your old engine may have value toward your repower in two ways:
Traditional Trade-In Value + Suzuki Promotional Incentive
Exact eligibility, eligible Suzuki models and promotional terms are subject to the current program requirements.

3. Your Old 2-Stroke Is Responsibly Recycled
The 4-4-2 Program isn't simply about replacing an old engine.
It also has an environmental component.
After your old 2-stroke is traded in, the engine is responsibly scrapped and recycled rather than simply being put back into service.
According to the program information, proceeds from recycling the old engines are donated to local environmental organizations.
So your repower can mean more than a new motor on your transom—it can also help remove an older 2-stroke from circulation and support environmental efforts in local communities.
Why Replace an Older 2-Stroke?
Many boat owners hold onto their existing outboard because the boat itself is still in great shape.
The hull may be solid.
The interior may still look great.
The trailer may still have plenty of life.
So why replace the entire boat?
A repower can allow you to keep the boat you love while upgrading the engine.
A new Suzuki 4-stroke can bring modern outboard technology to an existing boat and provide a fresh start at the transom.
You may want to consider repowering if:
Your current 2-stroke is getting older
Your engine has become unreliable
You're facing increasingly frequent repairs
You want newer outboard technology
You plan to keep your boat for several more seasons
You want to upgrade without replacing the entire boat
You want to take advantage of the Suzuki 4-4-2 Program
Why Suzuki 4-Stroke?
Suzuki Marine offers a broad lineup of 4-stroke outboards designed for a wide variety of boats and boating applications.
From smaller fishing boats and pontoons to larger recreational boats, Suzuki offers multiple horsepower options to help boat owners find the appropriate engine for their particular application.
The right motor isn't necessarily the biggest motor.
It's the motor that is properly matched to your boat, your horsepower requirements and the way you use your boat.
That's where working with an experienced marine dealership can make a difference.
What Happens During a Suzuki Repower?
A professional repower involves more than simply removing one motor and installing another.
At Lime Lake Marine & RV, we'll help you look at your complete setup and determine what is appropriate for your boat.
The process can include:
Engine Selection
We'll help determine which Suzuki outboard is appropriate for your boat and boating needs.
Installation
Your new Suzuki outboard is professionally installed on your boat.
Rigging
The new motor is connected to the appropriate controls and systems.
System Integration
Where applicable, existing gauges, controls and boat systems are evaluated for compatibility with the new outboard.
Final Inspection
The installation is checked before your boat gets back on the water.
What Makes the 4-4-2 Program Different?
The biggest difference is that the program isn't limited to people who already own a Suzuki.
Have an old 2-stroke from another manufacturer?
It may qualify.
Is the motor several years old?
It may qualify.
Is the motor no longer running?
It may qualify.
The program is specifically designed to accept any 2-stroke outboard regardless of brand, age or mechanical condition, subject to the applicable program requirements.
That makes it worth asking about before you decide what to do with your old motor.
Upgrade Your Boat. Recycle Your Old Motor.
For boat owners considering a repower, the Suzuki 4-4-2 Program offers an opportunity to accomplish several things at once.
Replace an aging 2-stroke.
Upgrade to a new Suzuki 4-stroke.
Receive your applicable traditional trade-in value.
Receive the applicable Suzuki promotional discount.
Help responsibly recycle an older outboard.
And according to the program, recycling proceeds are donated to local environmental organizations.
It's a different approach to the traditional trade-in process—and one worth exploring if you're ready for a new outboard.
