2026 Suzuki DF40A

More power, more performance. The DF40A is the only engine in the 40 HP class to offer DOHC performance, and also the only to incorporate a maintenance-free, oil-bathed timing chain, which provides the outboard with improved durability and maintenance-free operation. With larger displacements for increased power and performance, Suzuki’s Lean Control System improves fuel economy with designs that are more compact and lighter in weight than their predecessors. The new DF40A engines also include the Suzuki Troll Mode System.
