Not every adventure needs big horsepower. Sometimes, all you need is a Suzuki DF2.5 outboard.
Small Motor. Power You Can Carry.
At just 13 kg, the DF2.5 is ultra-lightweight and easy to handle. Its compact design makes it ideal for carrying, storing, and transporting. The kind of outboard that lives in the bakkie, ready for early-morning estuary runs, quick launches, or spontaneous weekend escapes.
Reliability You Can Trust. Big Peace of Mind.
Built tough and saltwater-rated, the DF2.5 features multi-layer corrosion protection designed for real-world boating conditions, not just showroom floors. It carries the same Suzuki engineering philosophy trusted by professionals and recreational boaters worldwide.
And with Suzuki’s 3-year manufacturer warranty, and low warranty claims, you’re investing in long-term confidence and good resell value, not short-term savings.
Quiet Mornings. Smooth Starts.
There’s something special about quiet water at first light. The Suzuki DF2.5 features a below-the-water exhaust, keeping noise levels low so you can focus on fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying the calm.
Thanks to Suzuki’s electronic ignition system, starting is smooth and reliable, even after periods of storage. No stress. No surprises.
