Frequently Asked Questions

Why a 55-degree V6?

A 55-degree bank angle creates a compact V6 outboard motor. The DF200, 225, 250, 250SS and DF300 all have a 55-degree block. Suzuki Engineers designed an all-new 55-degree V-Block, an industry first! This design is narrower, allowing the V6 engines to be mounted on 26" centers, great news for people who want to repower an older boat. Most other outboard brands in this HP category will have to be mounted on 28" or greater centers.
