2.5, 6 or 20 hp, what is the ideal Suzuki outboard for you and your tender? We tested them aboard three different Suzumar and Suzukino dinghies. Three different video tests to guide you in your choice.
Aboard a Suzumar 230 dinghy, we tested the smallest in the Suzuki range, DF 2.5, an outboard that has simplicity, ease of use and reliability as its winning weapons. Single-cylinder 68 cc engine, two valves and, above all, great lightness: 13.5 kg.
Slightly more powerful, but the length at the foot is still the same, Suzuki DF 6 is the ideal outboard for tenders, dinghies and small fishing boats. Exactly the same as the 2.5 and 20can be purchased at a special price, but only online. Single-cylinder, two-valve, 138 cc. Weighs 25 kg. Technical details, test and price in the video.
The engine block is 327 cc inline twin-cylinder, thermal unit declined in different power steps: Suzuki DF9.9B, Suzuki DF15A and Suzuki DF20A. The latter, just by virtue of its weight of only 44 kilograms, is also the lightest outboard among those of equal power and thus also the one with the best power-to-weight ratio.
This Suzuki outboard model is popular with sailors who install them to power daysailers, tenders, and small cabin cruisers, with sport fishermen who use them as auxiliary engines for trolling, or with marine professionals who use them continuously precisely because of their low fuel consumption and low emissions.
