SUZUKI DF300 APX MOTOR TECH

The new Suzuki DF300A mixes technology and innovation. Rated at 220.7kW, the 4.0-liter, DOHC V6 24-valve flagship DF300A delivers plenty of power and torque. Highlights are below:

NEW LOWER UNIT

Compared to the original DF300, the biggest changes you'll find on these outboards are in the lower unit, which was redesigned for the Suzuki Selective Rotation system-the world's first integration of regular and counter-rotation models into a single unit. The system consists of a new drive gear layout in the lower unit that allows the outboard to operate in either regular or counter-rotation mode, and a switch that connects to a circuit in the engine compartment that engages the counter-rotation mode.

Like the DF300, the new DF300A (also called the DF300AP) utilizes an aggressive final drive ratio of 2.08:1 allowing it to turn a 406mm (16-inch) diameter propeller available in various pitch size for optimum performance on a wide variety of boats.

SUZUKI's PRECISION CONTROL

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, little friction throttle and shift operation, the system's computer is processing and transmitting commands in real-time to actuators at the engine that deliver precise throttle controls 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 or triple installation as well as dual station operation.

SUZUKI's LEAN BURN CONTROL SYSTEM

Suzuki's innovative Lean Burn Control System was first introduced on the DF90A/80A/70A to great acclaim from boaters and the media alike. It predicts fuel needs according to operating conditions allowing the engine to run on a more efficient fuel mixture through the use of a lean air-fuel ratio. It delivers its benefits over a wide operating range, providing significant improvements in fuel economy from low-speed operation into the cruising range. Combining this system with the Suzuki Precision Control, electronic throttle and shift system, allows the operator precisely control to increase or decrease the engine RPM for improved fuel economy over a wider operation range. This combination also delivers smooth power transitions throughout the entire RPM range. In-house testing shows that while cruising, the DF300A is 14% more economical than the original non-Lean Burn DF300 without sacrifcing any power.

O2 SENSOR FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM

Both the DF300A are equipped with an O2 Sensor Feedback Control system that enables emissions to be cleaner and more stable. The system controls the air to fuel ratio across each of the engine's operating ranges providing an optimum amount of fuel to the engine regardless of rpm.
