REASONS TO CHOOSE SUZUKI ENGINES

All Suzuki outboards sold in Europe carry a 2 year pan-European warranty (commercial - 1 year). In addition Suzuki outboards imported by Suzuki GB PLC and retailed during 2009 are eligible for an additional 3 year warranty when they are registered for leisure use in the UK and Ireland. Outboards registered for commercial use in the UK and Ireland are eligible for an additional 1 year warranty. This is subject to regular servicing in accordance with the schedule published in the Owners Manual. This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.

This controls every aspect of the engines performance, enables much more accurate control of the running of the motor to be achieved and eliminates most possibilities of human error. Modern outboards are no longer purely mechanical and, as with other engines for automobiles etc, performance has improved dramatically by the incorporation of computer technology. The Suzuki engine management system controls the engine ignition system and provides the ideal fuel supply under all operating conditions making adjustments for engine wear and ensuring optimum performance throughout the life of the motor. It also enables engine safeguards to be incorporated such as over rev limiter, oil change reminder system and enables servicing to be simplified by using a plug-in diagnostic programme on a lap top computer to interrogate the inbuilt engine management module.

Suzuki 4-strokes have low profile slim hoods with a smooth exteriors so there is nowhere to snag clothes or fishing lines. The DF90/115 and 140 are outstanding, achieving remarkable compactness by off setting the crankshaft and driveshaft by using intermediate reduction gearing. The result is that they are the most compact in their class reducing the profile of the motor on the transom and improving weight distribution, balance and directional stability.

Corrosion can make short work of a good outboard motor, but it doesn't stand a chance with a Suzuki outboard. During production, each Suzuki motor is treated with chromate and sealed with a double coat of melamine resin primer, and every critical nut, bolt and washer is protected with a coat of dacromate. A network of grounding wires is incorporated into the engine's design, leading to a number of replaceable zinc anodes positioned on the outside surfaces and in the water jacket surrounding the cylinder head. As a result, corrosion builds up on the 'sacrificial' anodes instead of on important engine surfaces.

When idling only the tell tale water jet will assure you that the motor is running. Very low noise enabling you to talk normally to your passengers or crew when out on the water together with very little engine vibration adds to the pleasure of boating.
