The Suzuki DF30A is an ultralight 30 HP four-stroke outboard that brings state-of-the-art technology to the lower horsepower range. With its 490 cc 3-cylinder engine and battery-less EFI system, the DF30A offers reliable power and amazingly easy starting without the need for a battery. Suzuki’s Lean Burn control contributes to excellent fuel economy, and the engine’s low weight (~62 kg) makes it the lightest in the 30HP class.

Lightest in 25–30HP Class: At about 62 kg (for the short shaft model), the DF30A is extremely easy to mount, carry, and tilt. Perfect for inflatable dinghies and small fishing boats where every kilogram matters.
Battery-Less Fuel Injection: Suzuki’s unique EFI system operates with no battery required – the engine starts quickly with a recoil (or electric) starter even in cold conditions, delivering smooth performance and reduced fuel consumption.
Lean Burn Control: The intelligent fuel management ensures an optimal mixture at all times, greatly improving efficiency. The result is low fuel usage during pleasure cruises and extended trolling sessions.
Roller Rocker Arms: A first in its class, this engine uses roller rocker arms for the valves, which reduce friction in the valve train – increasing durability and improving power output.
Easy Pull Start & LED Indicators: The Easy Start Recoil system significantly reduces the force needed to pull-start the engine. In addition, built-in LED indicators provide at-a-glance status for oil pressure, temperature, etc., allowing quick monitoring of engine health.
Ideal for Compact Boats: The DF30A is ideal for 3–4m inflatable RIBs, aluminum skiffs, and small console boats. It provides enough power to plane these craft, carry 2–4 people, yet is light enough to be removed and stored when needed (or tilted up easily on a davit or transom when not in use).

The Suzuki DF30A changes the game for small outboards by offering features once reserved for higher classes. This 30HP engine is built to be easy on life – easy to carry, easy to start, easy to maintain, all with Suzuki’s renowned quality. Recommended uses and advantages include:

Mobility and Convenience: With its ultra-light weight, the DF30A is favored by campers, adventurers, and RIB owners who often launch boats by themselves. The engine can be taken off in minutes and transported in the back of a larger car or van, opening up opportunities to boat on remote waters that were previously inaccessible.
Rescue and Auxiliary Use: The DF30A is often used as an auxiliary “kicker” motor on larger boats or as the primary engine on small rescue and workboats where reliable starting is critical. The battery-less EFI ensures that even if a boat’s main battery fails, the engine can be pull-started and propel the vessel when needed.
Quiet and Smooth Trolling: For a 3-cylinder, the DF30A runs extremely quietly at idle and low speeds. This is a plus for anglers who want to troll for hours without paying the price in fuel or spooking fish with noise. The Lean Burn system keeps fuel consumption low during these prolonged low-throttle periods.
Low Profile and Compatibility: The engine’s compact block and availability in both short (15″) and long (20″) shaft versions mean the DF30A can fit a wide range of transoms – from RIB inflatables with a hard floor to small sailboats as an auxiliary. Its low profile and dimensions also make it easier to use motor hoists or security locks when the engine is not in use.
Low Operating Costs: In addition to sipping fuel, the DF30A has minimal upkeep requirements – missing components like a battery to tend to. Routine oil changes, spark plugs, and impeller swaps are quick and straightforward. The durable anti-corrosion finish and quality alloys used mean the engine retains its good looks and functionality even after years of saltwater use.
