New to Suzuki - new to me DF9.9

Hi everyone-

I bought an aluminum boat yesterday that came with a 2005 DF9.9. Very clean engine but I know NOTHING about Suzukis. I did learn today (after purchasing, of course) that this motor:
  1. has a timing BELT
  2. Doesn't freshwater flush like other outboards.

So I am interested to hear opinions on this engine. Reliability? What things should I do first to it maintenance-wise? The owner got it from a family member and may have service records but at this time I am going to assume that this low-usage motor has the original timing belt.

Any and all advice is sincerely appreciated!
