Suzuki is introducing two new models to its range in the form of the DF115B and DF140B. These new outboards are mechanically controlled and replace the out-going DF140A and DF115A models.
These new additions to the Suzuki outboard range provide an upgraded compression ratio of 10.6:1 for better top speed and quicker acceleration as well as increased fuel economy through improved thermal efficiency.
These new outboards also include a 40-amp alternator that delivers improved output and battery charging at low idle speeds. A redesigned cowling incorporates a new air intake structure with improved water separation and a silencer-resonator system to provide a more pleasant boating experience at all engine speeds.
The new design also gives a smoother and more dynamic aesthetic appeal.
To make routine maintenance easier, Suzuki has made it possible to replace the oil filter simply by removing the upper engine cover. To further increase ease of maintenance, the hole for the oil level gauge has been widened to 15mm which enables the use of a larger oil change hose. In addition, a new oil spill catcher on the filter mount prevents spillages and a new easy access water detection fuel filter helps protect the engine against contaminated fuel.
The DF140B and DF115B provide heavy-duty performance and long-lasting durability in a lightweight, mechanically controlled package.
Tanja Maes, Marine Manager for Suzuki Auto South Africa said, “The new DF140B and DF115B models are the latest in a long line of our innovative, lightweight and fuel-efficient four stroke outboards that give customers the power, performance and reassurance that they need for a wide variety of boating activities.”
The Lean Burn Control System supplies the right fuel and air mixture depending on the navigation conditions.
The offset drive allows us to make our outboard engines smaller by moving the outboards centre of gravity forward, improving weight distribution, power output, balance and reduces vibration.
The timing chain runs in an oil-bath so it never needs lubricating, and is equipped with an automatic hydraulic tensioner so it remains properly adjusted at all times.
The 02 Sensor Feedback Control system helps maintain optimum engine operating efficiency across the engine's full operating range.
It helps protect the engine from water in the fuel using a water detecting fuel filter to alert the operator with both visual and audio warnings when water is present in the fuel.
Can avoid water in fuel, which can lead to issues like poor combustion, lower power output and corrosion.
