I just picked up a 1985 Suzuki DT8 long shaft that needed a recoil spring and impeller. I've ordered the parts it needs successfully, but have a few more questions about it:

1. What is the max RPM of this outboard
2. What is the gear ratio of the lower unit?

Any other issues I should be aware of with this outboard? I used to have an early 80's suzuki spirit 65 on a bigger boat and it was a great motor.
