When it comes to 60HP outboards, the Suzuki DF60A stands out with its cutting-edge engineering and superb power-to-weight ratio. This inline three-cylinder engine (941cc) was redesigned from the ground up to be the most compact and lightest in its class, without compromising on performance or durability. At the heart of its design is a DOHC 12-valve powerhead that takes advantage of Suzuki’s automotive and motorcycle engine expertise to deliver 60 horsepower of smooth, efficient power.
The DF60A was also a pioneer in introducing advanced features to this class. It was the first 60HP outboard to use a self-adjusting, oil-bathed timing chain instead of a belt – meaning boaters get reduced maintenance and increased peace of mind over the engine’s lifetime. Additionally, Suzuki incorporated a tilt limit system in the DF60A 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 limiter that makes installation possible on nearly any type of boat.
Equipped with Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control technology, the DF60A constantly fine-tunes the fuel mixture for maximum economy. This results in significant fuel savings across the operating range, particularly at cruising speeds, so you can travel farther on each tank. Starting is effortless with Suzuki’s Easy Start system – all you need to do is turn the key and release, and the DF60A starts up smoothly and quickly every time. Combined with multi-point electronic fuel injection, the engine offers quick throttle response and steady, reliable power delivery under all conditions.
Despite its strong performance, the DF60A remains exceptionally quiet and low in vibration. The engine’s offset driveshaft and superior mount design reduce vibrations, while overall noise is kept down by precision engineering and refined combustion. This means you can enjoy a comfortable boating experience even at higher speeds. From small runabouts to pontoons, the Suzuki DF60A is a premium 60HP solution that gives you big-engine features in a compact, efficient package.
