⚠️ IMPORTANT — SUZUKI MOTORS DON'T ALWAYS GO BY YEAR:
• Suzuki motors don't always correspond to specific manufacture years
• Identify your engine by MODEL NUMBER (e.g., DF200T, DF225T, DF250T) AND OEM part number
• Cross-reference your specific outboard serial number for accurate fitment
• Per Primeau's Marine: "Not every year or model" - verify by serial number

NOTE: Verify your OEM part number 25700-93J00 (Suzuki) or 5035077 (Johnson/Evinrude) before ordering. Suzuki uses different seal kits across model generations and platforms — DF300 uses 25700-98J01, DF250A/300A/300AP uses 25700-93L02, DF300B/350A uses 25700-98L05/87M10, DF90-DF140 uses 25700-92J00. ***2-stroke OMC-built Johnson/Evinrude 200/225HP and E-TEC V6 also use different kits*** — only 4-stroke (rebadged Suzuki) is compatible with this kit. Replace all seals concurrently for proper lower unit longevity.
