Suzuki Launch New Outboard

Suzuki Motor Corporation have announced the introduction of the all-new DF300B, which is the latest outboard model to join Suzuki’s existing GEKI series of dual-propeller outboards. The new DF300B has a maximum output of 300ps and features many of Suzuki’s advanced technologies. These include their Dual Prop System, which efficiently converts engine output into forward thrust by combining two contra-rotating propellers, and 2-Stage Gear Reduction, in which the gear ratio is first reduced in between the crankshaft and the driveshaft, and then reduced again within the gear case, to deliver powerful propulsion by rotating large-diameter propellers that have high thrust efficiency. Daisuke Kawatari, general manager for Suzuki Motor Corporation’s European Liaison Office, said: ‘We are confident that the DF300B will be a popular model in the European market and that it will make the benefits of the dual-propeller technology available to a new range of boats and customers.’ Production of the DF300B will commence at Suzuki’s Kosai Plant in Japan from the end of 2019, and a further update on availability and pricing will be issued in each market in due course.
