About this engine

Engineered to deliver fuel-efficient operation in a compact and lightweight design, the DF50A is a product of Suzuki’s product pioneering over the last decade. This three-cylinder engine, with a four valve DOHC design, is combined with Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System to deliver high-tech performance with top level fuel economy. The Boating Writers of America presented Suzuki Marine with the NMMA Innovation Award for the DF50A/DF40A, during the 2011 Miami Boat Show. An optional tiller package equipped with a Multi-Functional handle is now available, exclusively in Nebular Black.

Key features

  • Keep the lights on. — The DF50A hosts a 19A alternator that generates approximately 11.5A, perfect for powering your vessel, even when the engine is running as low as 1,000 rpm. Under normal circumstances, that’s enough to power all of your personal electronics
  • Built for decades, not just weekends. — Suzuki’s motors come equipped with an anti-corrosion finish, which bonds tightly to the motor, protecting it from constant exposure to salt water. Keep your motor in out-of-the-box shape much longer than the competition.
