Suzuki Outboard Engines

Then
In 1909, Suzuki Loom Works was founded in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan.  After thirty years in the silk business, the company expanded their focus to building small cars and motorcycles which later evolved into producing all-terrain vehicles and marine engines.

Now
After 100 years in business, Suzuki is currently the ninth largest car manufacturer in the world with over USD$34 billion in sales.  They employs almost 45,000 workers in 35 production plants in 23 countries around the world.

Suzuki Outboard Engine Makes & Models
Suzuki’s Outboard marine engines are famous for offering the largest all four-stroke outboard engine line up in the industry.  Production includes a full scope of outboard motors including Portables ranging from 2.5 to 25 HP; DF 40 to 175 series featuring electronic fuel injection (EFI); a 3.6L V-6 200 to 250 HP series; a dual overhead cam (DOHC) DF 250 sport 4-stroke (SS); and a V-6 DF 300.

Customer Satisfaction
According to the 2009 Marine Engine Competitive Study produced by J.D. Powers and Associates, Suzuki Outboard engines ranked third in the outboard EFI four-stroke engine manufacturer category receiving 895 out of a possible 1,000 points.

Parts & Manuals
Suzuki outboard motor parts and manuals can be ordered directly from your local Suzuki Marine dealer. To ensure you order the correct manual, they suggests writing down the “model information from the manufacturer’s identification tag, generally located on the starboard (right) side of the motor mounting bracket.”  Suzuki Marine continues by stating “be sure to take down all the information on the model designator, including all prefixes, suffixes and the model year of your motor.”  Repair manuals can also be purchased through Amazon.com.

If you’d like answers to Suzuki outboard engine questions sooner than the time it takes to order a manual, try the Just Answer website.  For a fee ranging from $14 to $34, you can ask a Just Answer expert about a Suzuki outboard motor and receive an answer within minutes from a certified marine mechanic.  You can also browse previous Suzuki questions and answers free of charge.

New for 2010
A new Suzuki Outboard Engine, the DF60, will be produced for sale in early 2010.  Featuring an updated lightweight and compact style (claimed to be “the lightest and most efficient in its class”), the DF60 is a 3-cylinder motor with a dual overhead cam; other features include EFI plus maintenance free timing chain.

Dealer Locator
Suzuki outboard engine dealers can easily be located by using the ‘dealer locator’ feature on the Suzuki Marine website.
