Bolts that seize or snap halfway out can turn a 10-minute service into a weekend project. Swap them for Suzuki’s 09136-06149 Screw, 6 × 55 mm and keep every teardown as smooth as launch day. Sized for DF-series anode plates, gear-case carrier housings, and mid-section panels, this fastener threads in clean and stays put, even after a season of salt and spray.

Why the genuine screw is a smart upgrade

• 316 stainless steel shaft—fights rust and electrolysis where plated hardware quickly flakes.

• Precisely rolled M6-1.0 threads mate perfectly with Suzuki alloy castings; no galling, no cross-thread drama.

• 55 mm shank with full-length threads secures stacked washers and spacers without bottoming out.

• Low-profile 10 mm hex head clears tight recesses around anodes and water-intake screens.

Use it when you replace a prop-shaft anode, reseal a water pump, or reinstall the gear-case after an impeller change. One quick swap protects your outboard’s soft aluminum from chewed-up threads and keeps future maintenance simple—because a solid screw today beats drilling out a frozen stud tomorrow.
