Suzuki DF150AP Black

Big Block—High Performance Engine

The new DF175AP/150AP development team based both of these new Suzuki outboards on a big block inline four-cylinder four-stroke engine with a 2,867cm3 displacement. The block is topped with a DOHC powerhead that provides four-valves per cylinder for high performance. While the large displacement allows both to deliver exceptional acceleration and velocity, our engineers made sure that the outboard’s final dimensions are as compact and lightweight as possible.

Both outboards feature some of the best of Suzuki’s advanced technologies that have been developed to extend engine performance.

High 10.2:1 Compression Ratio and Largest in Class Displacement*2

Compression and displacement each play important roles in delivering performance and power output. Displacement has a direct effect on acceleration and torque so a bigger displacement is generally going to deliver more of both. Higher compression ratios allow the engine to get more output out of the combustion process resulting in noticeable improvements in performance and power. Drawing on our extensive motorsports experience and expertise in building race engines, Suzuki engineers have combined a 2,867cm3 displacement (the largest in each outboard’s class) with a high compression ratio of 10.2:1 to obtain great performance from these compact engines.

Suzuki Selective Rotation

Large boats equipped with multi-outboard installations generally pair a standard rotation outboard with a counter-rotation model to keep the boat traveling in a straight line and on an even keel. Once requiring the purchase of a dedicated counter-rotation model, Suzuki’s innovative Suzuki Selective Rotation eliminates that need by incorporating a special, unified design of gears, shaft, and bearings in the lower unit that allow the outboard to operate reliably and efficiently in either direction. Available on both the DF175AP and DF150AP, counter-rotation operation requires an optional activation switch that connects to a circuit inside of the engine compartment plus the installation of a counter-rotation propeller*1.

The optional connector and additional propeller are needed to change the outboards rotation.

Suzuki Precision Control (Electronic Throttle and Shift System)

Suzuki Precision Control is a technologically advanced computer-based control system that replaces the mechanical control cables found in conventional control systems with electronic wiring that eliminates the source of friction and resistance. While you enjoy smooth throttle and shift operation with minimal friction, the system’s computer is processing and transmitting commands in real-time to actuators at the engine that deliver precise throttle control with smoother, decisive shifting. This is most evident in the low rpm range where operation is noticeably smooth and accurate. When combined with Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System it allows control of fuel and air flow to boost the limit of the controllable revolution range improving fuel economy over a wide operating range. Suzuki Precision Control also features built-in systems that help guard the engine and drive against damage due to mishandling, and its design and simple wiring make installation easy, reducing the time required for rigging and adjustment.

The system offers precision control for single, twin, triple or quad installations as well as dual station operation.

Counter Balancer System

O2 Sensor Feedback Control System

A key sensor in the electronic fuel injection system, the O2 Sensor Feedback Control system provides accurate, real-time information that the ECU uses to manage the fuel/air ratio as operating conditions change. Utilized on many of Suzuki’s high-end outboards, the O2 Sensor Feedback Control system helps maintain optimum engine operating efficiency across the engine’s full operating range.

  Resonator

The engine’s exhaust system is a well-known source of engine noise, but another, often overlooked source is the intake manifold. Air being sucked into the intake manifold at high velocities can generate a harsh sound. The DF175AP/DF150AP incorporate an air intake resonator that reduces such noise keeping operation exceptionally quiet.

Knock Sensor

The knock sensor monitors combustion to provide the ECM with information needed for precise management of engine timing for optimum performance. In addition to maximizing power output, the system also helps increase engine durability.

Thrust Mount System

Both the DF175AP and DF150AP incorporate a combination of soft type and high thrust rubber mounts on both upper and lower mounts to reduce engine vibration and provide stable operation. Soft type rubber mounts are used to absorb vibrations generated in the idling through 2,000 rpm range while high thrust rubber mounts deliver stable operation under high loads increasing power and performance.

Variable Valve Timing (VVT)

Variable Valve Timing is utilized on many of Suzuki’s high-end outboards to deliver high performance across the outboard’s full powerband while retaining the benefits that four-stroke technology provides. The system starts with an innovative cam profile designed for delivering maximum output and performance at high rpm. Variable Valve Timing is used to vary intake timing with the camshaft to optimize timing for low to mid-range operation. This allows the engine to deliver maximum power output across its entire operating range producing greater low to mid-range torque for powerful acceleration. The entire process happens automatically leaving you to enjoy the power and performance.

Quiet Operation

Suzuki four-stroke outboards have long been noted for their exceptionally quiet operation. Suzuki engineers go to great lengths incorporating methods designed to keep outboard operation as quiet as possible.
