THE Haines Group, distributor of Suzuki Marine outboards, has announced the release of its new high-performance four-cylinder DF150AP/DF175AP four-stroke outboard motors.
Repackaged with the latest refinements and innovations as seen in the DF200AP (released April 2015), the DF150AP and DF175AP offer the same lightweight and compact design while boasting the largest displacement in their respective classes (2,867cc) for outstanding performance and power. Equipped with the same 2.9-litre ‘big block’ in-line four-cylinder DOHC engine, the new outboards also feature a higher 10.2:1 compression ratio, generating more power to deliver exceptional acceleration and low-end torque.
Suzuki’s Selective Rotation, a key feature of the AP models, means the motors can be configured for either regular or counter-clockwise operation for vessels equipped with multiple engines. Options available with the DF150AP/DF175AP include the new Suzuki Precision Manoeuvring joystick system, which utilises Suzuki Precision Control to provide fully integrated electronic throttle, shift, steering and joystick control for a seamless driving experience and greater manoeuvrability, no matter the condition or speed.
Suzuki Marine national marketing manager Australia/New Zealand Sean Allen said, “The new DF150AP/DF175AP motors demonstrate why there is no other outboard brand like it in the world – our company is truly unique.” “You may think all outboards look the same but once you get under the surface you’ll see why those in the know choose Suzuki Marine. “We pioneered technology such as the Lean Burn Control System and Suzuki Precision Control for outstanding fuel economy, offset driveshaft and maintenance-free timing chains for reduced noise and lower servicing costs – innovations that feature in these new models.”
Whether customers are looking to repower or buy a brand-new motor in the higher horsepower range that provides an alternative to V6 power, the new-generation DF150AP and DF175AP showcase why Suzuki Marine makes the ultimate four-stroke. The DF150AP/DF175AP are available to order now in two colours of Pearl Nebular Black and Cool White, both featuring new 3D decals.
