From design through to development and operation, Suzuki outboards are designed to provide you with reliability, durability, performance, comfort and ease and all this with economy and our environment in mind.

In this article we look at the various technologies included in Suzuki outboards and how they benefit your everyday boating experience.

RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY

Suzuki Outboard motors are designed and developed with durability and reliability in mind, to provide the user with notice prior to engine problems, make them hard to break and easy to service and repair

These technologies include:

The Suzuki Dual Louver System

DF350A/SF325A/DF300B

The DF350A/DF325A/DF300B is equipped with a dog-leg shaped dual louver at the air intake to completely remove water from the air taken into the cowl.

  • Prevents water from entering the outboard.
  • Allows a direct intake system, contributing to higher engine output.

Self Adjusting Timing Chain

DF40A and up

The timing chain runs in an oil-bath so it never needs lubricating, and is equipped with an automatic hydraulic tensioner so it remains properly adjusted at all times.

  • More durability compared to belt types of same class.
  • Maintenance-free.

Tilt Limit System

DF50AV and up ( not including the DF90AWQH, DF60AQH, DF50A/DF40A

  • Prevents damage to the boat or outboard due to excessive outboard tilting.

Keyless Start System

Optional: DF70A and up (Not including DF250/DF225/DF200, DF250W, DF150W and DF90AWQH

This system allows you to start the outboard engine by having the key-fob nearby

  • Provides high security.
  • Key does not need to be inserted.

SDSM App

DF9.9 and up

Available for free*,this service enables you to scan the QR code containing the engine information displayed on the Multi-Function Display or Multi-Function Gauge with your smart phone and send the information via email

  • The SDSM App lets you send your authorized Suzuki dealer all the technical information they need to service and maintain your outboard motor instantly and easily.
  • Suzuki Multi-function Gauge or Suzuki Multi-function Display and a smartphone running Android or iOS is required.

Water detecting system

DF70A and up

It helps to protect the engine from water in the fuel using a water detecting fuel filter to alert the driver with both visual and audio warnings when water is present in the fuel.

  • Prevents water in fuel, which can be the cause of issues like poor combustion, lower power output and corrosion.

The engine’s cooling system relies on water supplied through two water inlets located on the lower unit where usually there is only one.

  • Increases the water flow, providing better cooling performance.

Dual water inlet system 

DF350A/DF325A/DF300B, DF300AP/DF250AP, DF250W

The engine’s cooling system relies on water supplied through two water inlets located on the lower unit where usually there is only one.

  • Increases the water flow, providing better cooling performance.

Suzuki Anti Corrosion Finish

All Models

Special protection is applied to the aluminum surface using high strength bonding to protect the aluminum made exterior parts.

  • Protection against corrosion helps increase the overall outboard durability.

Sub Water Inlet

Optional: DF140BG/115BG, DF140A/DF115A/DF100A, DF90AWQH

Standard: DF60A/DF50A/DF40A

Two water inlets in different directions ensure that the engine does not overheat due to the clogging of algae.
