DF60A

Features

Compact, Lightweight and Fuel Efficient

The DF60A is designed by Suzuki engineers to deliver fuel-efficient operation in a compact and light weight outboard. Utilizing many of the advancements and achievements that Suzuki has pioneered over the last decade in designing and developing four-stroke outboards, Suzuki engineers have produced a sleek formed DF60A that ranks top in the 44.1kW (60PS) class for its compact size and light weight. Powering the DF60A is an all-new three-cylinder engine with a DOHC powerhead and four valves per cylinder. This high performance engine is combined with Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System to deliver high-tech performance with efficient operation and top level fuel economy, which will be good news to boaters concerning fuel cost.

Other features boaters are sure to appreciate are a maintenance free timing chain — the first ever offered in its class — electronic fuel injection, large capacity alternator, and a new tilt limit system.

The DF60A joins the DF70A, DF80A, and DF90A in Suzuki’s new generation four-stroke lineup, providing boaters with excellent power, performance, and top level fuel efficiency.

Compact Design

Suzuki engineers are known for creating some of the most compact four stroke outboards in their respective classes. With the DF60A, they started with a clean slate redesigning every part and component incorporating the knowledge and technical advancements gained over the last ten years to create even lighter, more compact outboards.

Lean Burn Control System

To get the most out of every drop of fuel, Suzuki engineers developed the Lean Burn Control System on the DF60A, which enables the engine to operate on a lean air-fuel ratio or a thinner mixture of fuel. The system controls the air to fuel mixture by predicting fuel needs according to operating conditions. It delivers its benefits over a wide operating range providing significant improvements in fuel economy from low speed operation well up into the cruising range.

Suzuki Easy Start System

The DF60A is equipped with a tilt limit system that is designed to protect the boat from damage that can occur when tilting the outboard. The system incorporates a tilt angle sensor that functions as both a tilt limit and trim sender and uses a step-free, continuous type limiter that makes installation of the outboard possible on nearly any type of boat.

Cleaner, More Efficient Operation

With Suzuki’s Easy Start System, featured on the DF60A, all you need to do is turn the key and release. The starter system does the rest, staying engaged until the engine starts. Smoother and improved starts delivered by the Easy Start System offer more efficient combustion, and greater fuel economy.

Mechanically Efficient Design

Suzuki engineers looked for ways to reduce mechanical loss as a way to improve efficiency in the DF60A. A specially designed oil pump delivers greater mechanical efficiency allowing oil to flow through the lubrication system with less resistance. This, combined with reduced mechanical loss in other areas of the engine contributes to better fuel economy.

Self-Adjusting Timing Chain

Suzuki’s self-adjusting timing chain is featured on the DF60A which is the first outboard in the 44.1kW (60PS) class equipped with this maintenance free feature. The chain is oil-bathed and features an automatic hydraulic tensioner that keeps the chain properly adjusted at all times for maintenance free operation.
