Latest outboard in dual prop range
Suzuki has launched its all–new DF300B, which is the latest outboard model to join Suzuki’s existing ‘GEKI’ series of dual-propeller outboards.
The DF300B is a large capacity outboard motor which was developed to meet the needs of customers who wish to have the same advanced technologies as Suzuki’s flagship DF350A outboard installed on a 300-horsepower class unit.
The main benefit of combining the highly-efficient contra-rotating propellers and a compact 2-Stage Gear Reduction, is that it is able to deliver high propulsion power, meaning the DF300B can be rigged onto heavier boats. With the use of regular (91 RON) petrol as its fuel, it can be offered to customers in more countries and regions, as well as a wider range of usage from business to leisure.
Daisuke Kawatari, General Manager for Suzuki Motor Corporation’s European Liaison Office, said, “The DF300B is the latest addition to our GEKI series of dual-propeller outboards and reinforces Suzuki’s position at the forefront of the large horsepower outboard market. We are confident that the DF300B will be a popular model in the European market and that it will make the benefits of the dual-propeller technology available to a new range of boats and customers.”
Details of the new DF300B were seen for the first time at the Marstrand Boat Show in Sweden (23 – 25 August).
