Suzuki's DF300 has become the company's first 300hp (224kW) four-stroke outboard to set a new benchmark for performance and power from a compact and lightweight outboard.
"Onitial tests show the new DF300 to be 15 percent more economical than the current DF300 without sacrificing on any of the power for which the original model was already famous," said the company in a statement.
The details of the new specifications were revealed at the Miami International Boat Show on February 11. The new DF300 will feature Suzuki's Lean Burn Control System, a new O2 Feedback Control System and a new water detecting fuel filter.
Suzuki's Lean Burn Control System predicts fuel needs according to operating conditions allowing the engine to run on a more efficient mixture through the use of a lean air-fuel ratio.
By combining this unique Lean Burn Control System with the Suzuki Precision Control, Suzuki's electronic throttle system, which is a feature of the standard DF300, enables electronic control of the fuel flow and airflow, increasing the limit of the controllable revolution range.
The new O2 Feedback Control System, which is the first to be employed in a Suzuki outboard, renders emissions more stable and cleaner than prior systems.
The DF300 will also incorporate a new fuel filter that detects if there is any water in the fuel and warns the operator.
