The Suzuki DF6A is a compact and lightweight 4-stroke outboard motor designed for portable use. Weighing approximately 24.0 kg (53 lbs) for the short shaft model, it offers easy handling and operation.
- Lightweight Design: The DF6A maintains an engine displacement of 138 cm³ while reducing weight by 1.0 kg, enhancing portability and operability.
- Enhanced User-Friendliness: The overhead integral fuel tank and new lubricating systems allow transport and storage of the outboard on any of three sides (port, starboard, or front) without leakage of fuel or oil.
- Offset Crankshaft: Positioning the crankshaft slightly off-center reduces lateral pressure against the cylinder wall, resulting in smoother piston movement and improved operating efficiency.
- Quiet Operation: A silencer optimizes the capacity and shape of the air intake, and design improvements in the rocker arm and crankshaft bearing reduce noise levels.
- Highly Reliable Lubricating System: An additional oil passage and a first-in-its-class oil filter enhance the reliability of the lubricating system.
- Three-Way Storage: The new fuel and lubricating systems allow convenient storage of the outboard on any of three sides (port, starboard, or front) without worrying about the storage orientation.
- Improved Portability: The carrying handle integrated into the lower cover has been rounded and made easier to hold, with an additional grip at the front of the lower engine cover for convenient two-handed carrying.
- New Tilt System: The tilt system offers different up-and-down paths of the shallow drive arm compared with previous models, with three lockable positions when raised and smooth lowering without locking.
- Suzuki's Anti-Corrosion System: An anti-corrosion finish applied directly to the aluminum surface increases protection and durability of parts exposed to saltwater.
- Lower Emissions, Efficient Operation: Advanced four-stroke technologies deliver highly efficient operation and lower emissions, conforming to strict standards including the EURO 1 Emissions Standards and receiving a three-star rating from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
