Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
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 enhanced fuel economy through improved thermal efficiency.
These new outboards also include a 40A 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.
Mark Beeley, Head of Marine and ATV for Suzuki GB, said: ‘These new models are the latest in a long line of our lightweight and fuel-efficient 4-stroke outboards that give customers the power, performance and reassurance that they need for a wide variety of boating activities.’
