DF300

MSRP Price to be announced

“The Ultimate 4-Stroke Outboard”. The DF300 is the industry’s first 300HP V-6 four stroke outboard. The DF300 features “Suzuki Precision Control”. This fly-by wire control offers silky smooth shifting and throttle response. *New for 2012 is the addition of Suzuki Selective Rotation: In its standard form, this new model will operate in regular clockwise rotation, using forward gear. Now, by changing the gear-shift mode and adding a counter rotational propeller, the same outboard can operate in counter rotation mode (counter-clockwise). Also the DF300 has increased fuel economy and reduced emissions with the addition of Suzuki Lean Burn Control with Oxygen Sensor. Go with a Proven Winner, Go Suzuki.

*Suzuki Selective Rotation is only availible on the DF300APX and DF300APXX
