Suzuki DF60ATL

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.

Tilt Limit 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.
