Power needs vary according to boat and hull types. Pontoons and heavy boats have more resistance in the water making them harder to control with a standard outboard, especially at low speeds. Boats like these require an outboard that is right for the task, like the DF60AV/50AV. These are high thrust versions of Suzuki’s DF60A/50A four-stroke outboards designed to deliver more thrust for greater low speed handling and control of heavy boats. Equipped with a special lower unit featuring Suzuki’s High Energy Rotation System, they are capable of delivering up to 42% more forward thrust and 136% more thrust in reverse.* This offers more precise control and sophisticated low speed handling of heavy boats resulting in a more pleasurable boating experience.
Both outboards incorporate the same high performance, three-cylinder engine fitted with a DOHC (dual overhead cam) powerhead and four valves per cylinder. Their fuel systems feature Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System, an intelligent fuel system that delivers greater fuel efficiency while maintaining excellent power and performance.
High Energy RotationThe DF60AV/50AV are high thrust versions of the standard DF60A/50A featuring Suzuki’s High Energy Rotation system. These outboards are equipped with lower units based on those found on the DF140A, specially engineered with a large 2.42 gear ratio that turns a bigger 14-inch prop. The system delivers a 42% increase in forward thrust and 136% in reverse providing the propulsion you need for moving heavy boats.* This design gives you more precise control when maneuvering, superior low speed handling, more hole shots, and plenty of power to move and maneuver with a heavy load. As you would expect, being from Suzuki, both of these outboards are designed from the ground up to be compact and lightweight. And when compared to other high thrust models in their respective power classes, each takes the title for being both the lightest and most compact.
