The DF50A represents the latest generation of Suzuki’s 50HP class, featuring a range of innovations that set it apart. With a DOHC 12-valve inline-3 engine displacing 941cc, it is the only 50HP outboard in its class with such an advanced powerhead configuration – ensuring superior top-end performance and mid-range torque. Every aspect of the DF50A’s design has been refined to reduce weight and friction, contributing to its status as one of the lightest and most efficient 50HP outboards available.
Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System plays a key role in the DF50A’s outstanding fuel economy. In fact, in-house tests showed as much as a 23% improvement in fuel consumption at cruising speeds compared to the previous generation. This means you can spend more time on the water and less money at the pump. Multi-point sequential electronic fuel injection optimizes power delivery and ensures quick starts and smooth running in all conditions, while keeping emissions ultra-low.
The DF50A also boasts a maintenance-free timing chain, providing greater peace of mind than belt-driven systems. Oil-bathed and self-adjusting, the timing chain never needs manual tension adjustment or replacement, contributing to lower upkeep costs over the engine’s life. A generous 19A alternator is built in to supply plenty of power for electronics and battery charging. And with its robust gearcase and a gear ratio of 2.27:1, this outboard can swing a larger propeller, translating the engine’s power into impressive thrust and acceleration for getting boats on plane swiftly.
Whether used for fishing, cruising, or work, the DF50A stands out for its quiet and smooth operation. The combination of an offset driveshaft, quality motor mounts, and overall Suzuki engineering excellence means minimal vibration and noise. The result is a 50HP outboard that delivers a premium boating experience – powerful yet refined, efficient yet responsive, and built to provide reliable service for years to come.
