Suzuki DF115A 115HP 4-Stroke 20″ Outboard Motor

Description

The Suzuki DF115A is a 115hp standard rotation outboard designed with a 20-inch shaft for multi-engine offshore boats. This 2.0-liter inline-4 platform produces immense structural density through its massive 2044 cc displacement while maintaining an optimized dry weight of 401 lbs to maximize pure marine performance. Engineered explicitly for low-transom configurations, the 20-inch shaft length ensures ideal propeller depth and balanced tracking across heavy-duty fiberglass hulls navigating rough open ocean waters.

Running hard within its 5000 to 6000 RPM range is how this offshore engine sustains incredible cruising speeds across long tournament distances. The heavy-duty 2.59:1 gear ratio converts pure combustion forces into a flat torque curve, ensuring heavy boats pop onto plane without burying the stern under heavy loads. This Japanese-built masterpiece leverages advanced block harmonics to eliminate low-frequency hull vibrations during severe long-range deep-sea operations.

Technical Specifications of Suzuki DF115A

• Electronic fuel injection utilizes multi-point sequential delivery with O2 sensor feedback to maximize total thermal efficiency across all cylinders.
• A heavy-duty 40 gross amp alternator generates massive power to keep house battery banks fully topped off.
• The remote mechanical steering compatibility replaces complex setups with highly responsive vessel tracking adjustments.
• The advanced power trim and tilt mechanism simplifies trailing and shallow-water operation by moving the lower unit out of harm.
• An extensive 5.5-liter oil sump ensures optimal thermal dissipation and continuous lubrication during hard wide-open throttle runs.
• The two-stage reduction gear lower unit ensures traditional clockwise propeller spin for optimized single or primary engine thrust.

DOHC Sixteen Valve Powerhead

An advanced inline-4 double overhead camshaft design treats the 16-valve core layout of this midrange block to optimize total thermal efficiency. This advanced engineering process shaves critical response lag off the powerhead while drastically improving volumetric efficiency under severe load environments.

Lean Burn Precision Induction

Multi-point sequential fuel injection sprays gasoline straight into the intake tracks for clean combustion cycles on 87 octane fuel. This meticulous delivery system guarantees immediate throttle response and flawless cold starts during changing early morning coastal marine conditions.

Two Stage Reduction Gearcase

Oversized internal gears and a 2.59:1 gear ratio profile minimize underwater drag at high cruising speeds. This structural configuration mitigates lower-unit gear chatter and ensures smooth power transmission to a larger diameter propeller hub.

O2 Sensor Electronics Loop

Digital electronic control networks integrate directly with localized O2 sensors to manage intensive fuel-to-air combustion trim curves automatically on open water. This advanced configuration coordinates with the internal engine loops to maintain crisp engine response across varying water conditions.

Mid Size Aluminum Application

Mid-size aluminum fishing boats, runabouts, pontoon platforms, and coastal center consoles from 17 to 22 feet are targeted. The mid-length shaft delivers exceptional leverage and structural vibration dampening when driving through steep waves.

Cowling Access And Lubrication

Fast access to critical checking points is provided by a multi-piece outer cowling structure that cuts service times down significantly. Changing the massive internal fluid volume remains completely clean thanks to an engineered drain plug location that prevents spoiling oil. Pro Tip from the Shop: Connect your freshwater wash hose directly to the upper flushing port after every trip to automatically blast salt crystals out of the cooling jacket without even starting the engine.
