DF4DF6 specifications

The Suzuki DF4 and DF6 outboard motors represent a fine blend of compact design, lightweight construction, and powerful performance. Specifically engineered for small to medium-sized boats, these models are favored by recreational and commercial users alike who demand efficiency and reliability.

One of the standout features of the DF4 and DF6 is their remarkably lightweight design. Weighing just 27 kg for the DF4 and 29 kg for the DF6, these outboards are incredibly portable, making them easy to transport and maneuver. This lightweight construction is achieved by using advanced materials like high-grade aluminum for the casing, which not only reduces weight but also enhances durability against corrosive marine environments.

Both models are equipped with Suzuki's advanced four-stroke technology, which ensures smooth and quiet operation while reducing emissions. This eco-friendly design aligns with international regulations, making them a responsible choice for environmentally conscious boaters. The DF4 and DF6 provide a clean and efficient fuel consumption rate, maximizing the distance covered on each tank of fuel.

Another notable technology in these outboards is the Suzuki Lean Burn Control System. This system optimizes fuel delivery based on various operating conditions, leading to improved fuel efficiency. Whether navigating through choppy waters or cruising at a steadier pace, boaters can experience longer run times without needing to refuel frequently.

Additionally, both the DF4 and DF6 feature an easy-to-use fresh water flushing system, allowing for simple maintenance and extended engine life. Regular flushing after saltwater use helps to keep the internal components clean and free from corrosive buildup, ensuring optimal performance and reliability over time.

The DF4 and DF6 models are designed with user-friendly controls, making them suitable for both novice and experienced boaters. The intuitive throttle and gear shift mechanisms provide smooth acceleration and seamless transitions. Furthermore, both engines feature an adjustable steerable tiller handle, allowing for enhanced maneuverability and control.

Safety has not been overlooked in the design of these outboards. They incorporate a robust anti-corrosion system that ensures prolonged lifespan even in harsh marine conditions. Coupled with the standard emergency stop switch, these motors provide peace of mind for users during their boating adventures.

In summary, Suzuki’s DF4 and DF6 outboards combine lightweight construction with advanced technology, delivering exceptional performance and efficiency. Their eco-friendliness, user-friendly design, and maintenance features make them an excellent choice for those seeking reliable small outboard motors. Whether for fishing, leisure cruising, or work purposes, these models stand out in the market for their outstanding characteristics and performance attributes.
