2023 Suzuki Marine DF40A L DELIVERING SUPERIOR FUEL EFFICIENCY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE With a larger displacement for increased power and performance, Suzuki’s Lean Control System for improved fuel economy and incorporating designs that are more compact and lighter in weight than the predecessor, the New Generation DF40A offers industry-first features to provide industry leading performance and reliability. During the 2011 Miami Boat Show, the Boating Writers of America presented Suzuki Marine with the NMMA Innovation Award for the DF40A’s innovations which remains some of the leading features in its class. HIGH PERFORMANCE DOHC 12-VALVE ENGINE Suzuki engineers based the DF50A and DF40A engine on Suzuki’s proven in-line three-cylinder 12-valve engine. This high performance engine has a displacement of 941cm3 and features a DOHC powerhead the only DOHC engine used in the 36.8kW (50PS)/29.4kW (40PS) outboard class ? with four valves per cylinder, and an air intake system optimized for maximum efficiency in the high rpm range. When designing this engine, Suzuki engineers also focused on improving mechanical efficiency. Each component was analyzed and redesigned to reduce mechanical loss in order to improve efficiency. As an example, a new oil pump design makes internal oil flow more efficient, keeping moving parts better lubricated while using less energy. The combined reduction in mechanical loss throughout the engine contributes to better fuel economy. SUZUKI’S LEAN BURN CONTROL SYSTEM Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System is an intelligent system that monitors engine performance and operating conditions to predict fuel needs and deliver a leaner fuel mixture to the engine. First introduced on the DF90A/80A/70A, and later on the DF60A, this system provides remarkable improvements in fuel economy from low speed operation up into the cruising range, which is where the engine is used a majority of the time. In-house testing shows that at medium speeds, the DF50A achieves a 23% improvement in fuel consumption than its predecessor. MULTI-POINT SEQUENTIAL ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION Suzuki pioneered the use of multi-point sequential electronic fuel injection in four-stroke outboards. This advanced, time-tested system gathers operating data from a series of sensors located in key areas on the engine, processes the data and calculates the optimum amount of fuel and air needed for the engine all in real time. Boaters benefit with smooth starts, maximum operating efficiency, excellent fuel economy, and reduced emissions. MAINTENANCE FREE TIMING CHAIN The DF50A and DF40A are the only outboards in the 36.8kW (50PS)/ 29.4kW (40PS) outboard class to incorporate a timing chain. The chain is oil-bathed, self adjusting, and maintenance free to provide boaters with years of dependable service.
