The new Suzuki outboard engine, the DF115B, features evolutions that further enhance its overall performance. The compression ratio is increased to 10.6/1, allowing this over 2-liter outboard motor to improve top speed and achieve better acceleration while optimizing thermal efficiency.
Fuel efficiency has also been improved compared to the well-known DF115A model. Tests have shown a 5 to 6% improvement in fuel consumption for the DF115B across medium to high speed ranges.
The new cowling adopts a special air intake optimized for water separation while reducing the intake air temperature, which enables higher power output at mid-range RPMs. A resonator system further reduces engine noise at all speeds.
The new direct ignition system reduces the number of parts and wiring, allowing for a better ignition spark and improved combustion efficiency.
The main difference with its "big brother" DF140B is that it achieves its power over a lower and wider RPM range.
