Suzuki's DF200A: The Whole Shebang

Suzuki Marine brings a lot to the table; motors with lots of power, motors with efficiency, and motors with style. With their DF200A, however, they have combined all those attributes in one outboard.

Often when searching for added power you get stuck packing lots of bulky weight onto your boat. That isn't the case with Suzuki's DF200A four stroke outboard. One of the biggest sources for this motor's praise is its power-to-weight ratio. It holds a four cylinder block that can also meet the performance more typically seen in V6 outboards. Its impressive torque at lower rpms and fast acceleration are more typical characteristics for V6 motors, but with an efficiently designed engine like this one you can get the best of both worlds. 

It's intelligent
With three different sensor systems and qualities that lead to great fuel economy, this motor has an engrained sense of efficiency. It has a water detection system which increases the moto'rs reliability; especially beneficial with the threats posed by increasing amounts of ethanol in fuel. Along with the water detection, it has a knock and O2 sensor. Both of these sensors send information to the ECM that helps optimize the engine's performance. It uses the Lean Burn technology which allows this motor to optimize the fuel-to-air mixture and provide improved fuel economy. This motor optimizes performance, optimizes fuel use, and optimizes reliability with sensor use -- I told you it was intelligent.  

It's sleek
This outboard offers power, fuel economy, low-end torque: all packed into one sleek external body. The DF200A is lightweight and slim, weighing in at 498 lbs. The lighter weight of this motor widens the range of boats that it can call home. Older boats are often confined to lighter 2 stroke outboards, but this light 4 stroke model poses as a more powerful option. Also, because of its slim profile it would be a good motor for twin-engines. 

 

Whatever you are looking for in a re-power the DF200A is definitely one to consider. It'll give your boat a new look, your rides more power, and you a motor you can count on - all in one shebang.
