The Suzuki DF60A packs the best of Suzuki’s engineering innovations into the midrange class – the result is an engine that is simultaneously powerful, economical, and easy to operate. Perfect for a variety of boats around 4.5–5 meters, this outboard is especially favored by owners who seek maximum performance within the limited space and weight constraints of a small transom. Recommended uses and benefits include:
- Perfect for Mid-Sized Boats: The DF60A is ideal for RIB inflatables and hard-hull motorboats roughly 4.5–5.5 m long that need enough power to carry family or friends. The engine’s light weight helps the boat retain its agility – a crucial factor for rescue RIBs or quick runabouts that demand nimble handling on the water.
- Strong Thrust for Sport and Load: With its 2.27:1 gear reduction, the DF60A delivers impressive torque to the prop. This means it can easily pull water skiers or tow a banana boat/inflatables for fun. Also, when pushing loaded boats (e.g., fishing vessels with lots of gear or boats with many passengers), the engine retains its ability to accelerate swiftly and hold plane without struggling.
- Extremely Low Fuel Burn – Ideal for Long Fishing Days: The Lean Burn system on this 60HP works wonders – anglers can motor between spots all day, troll at low RPM for hours, and head back to port having used surprisingly little fuel. That extends your time on the water and cuts costs, which is critical for serious fishermen and women.
- Easy Maintenance and Longevity: The DF60A is the first 60HP outboard with a self-adjusting timing chain – a huge plus for dependability. Also, the cooling system can be conveniently flushed via two flush ports, ensuring salt and deposits don’t build up in the engine. The comprehensive anti-corrosion coating protects the engine during saltwater use, so this motor is built to withstand years of hard service.
- Operational Convenience: With built-in Power Trim & Tilt, the driver can adjust the engine’s angle with the push of a button – useful when passing shallow areas or to optimize trim for best performance. The Easy Start system means no need to hold the key while starting – just turn and release. And for specialized tasks – such as creeping along docks or slow trolling – the optional Troll Mode adds exceptional fine control over low RPM, something that’s traditionally challenging with standard throttle levers.
