Overall, the Suzuki DF6A is a reliable, efficient, and convenient outboard engine that is perfect for small boats and other watercraft. Its compact size, lightweight design, and easy-to-use controls make it a great choice for both beginners and experienced boaters alike.
TAKE ADVENTUREWITH YOU.
The DF6A is ready for whatever comes next, fully portable and fits nearly any vessel. Swap out how you use your DF6A, whether it’s a duck boat or a paddle board. If you don’t want to be tied down, this is the engine for you.
A REVOLUTION IN INNOVATION
The DF6 brings 4-stroke performance and efficiency to portable outboards. Compact and lightweight, the DF6 is easy to transport and delivers surprising low- and mid-range torque for quick acceleration.
Knowing that small portables like the DF6 get transported a lot, we set out to design this outboard compact and lightweight to make transporting easier. Not to stop there, we added features that would make its operation easy and more user-friendly. As four-strokes, the DF6 outboard deliver clean, economical operation, and being made by Suzuki, you know it delivers excellent power, performance, and durability.
MORE COMPACT AND MUCH LIGHTER
ENHANCED USER-FRIENDLINESS
The overhead integral fuel tank and the 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.
Because the overhead fuel tank is placed right above the carburettor, it also allows gravity fuel supply, enabling the engine to start instantly right after filling fuel, even after long-term storage. These features have enhanced its user-friendliness as a portable outboard motor.
LIGHTWEIGHT
In addition to a reincarnated stylish appearance, the newly designed and developed Suzuki DF6A, DF5A and DF4A boast the unrivalled lightweight, 24.0Kg (S-shaft models). The lighter weight has improved portability as well as operability.
OUTSTANDING HANDLE OPERATION
An ease of handling that has enjoyed great popularity. Further improvements to the tiller handle have successfully mitigated vibrations contributing to fatigue and stress when transmitted to the hand during operation. The DF6A, DF5A and DF4A particularly excel at vibration mitigation in the mid-range.
OFFSET CRANKSHAFT
Positioning the crankshaft slightly off center of the cylinder reduces lateral pressure against the cylinder wall as the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. The result is smoother piston movement, which improves operating efficiency.
EASY AFTER-STORAGE START
Because the integral overhead fuel tank and one-way valve allow gravity fuel supply, the engine can be started without opening the engine cover, even after long term storage.
QUIET OPERATION
The low noise level is the result of a silencer, designed to optimize the capacity and shape of the air intake. The new design of the rocker arm and the plane bearing of the crankshaft also help reduce the noise level. We also changed the structure of the parts related to the rocker arm and eliminated its excessive play. In addition, we changed the crankshaft bearing from a common ball type to a plane type.
SILENCER
HIGHLY RELIABLE LUBRICATING SYSTEM
The forced lubrication system of the DF6A, DF5A and DF4A has an additional oil passage to the upper and lower crankshaft and connecting rod big end. The addition of a first-in-its-class** oil filter greatly increases the reliability of the lubricating system. Furthermore, the new position of the oil window allows for visual confirmation of the actual lubricating condition.
