DF6AL5
Marine Specialist Insight: The Suzuki DF6AL5 (MPN DF6AL5) represents the pinnacle of portable 6 HP performance. With a class-leading 138cc displacement, it provides the extra torque needed to get small craft on plane while maintaining a lightweight profile. This "L5" version features a 20-inch long shaft, making it the premier choice as an auxiliary "kicker" for sailboats or for use on boats with higher transoms.
Reliable Power with Unmatched Portability
The Suzuki DF6AL5 (MPN: DF6AL5) is built for boaters who demand reliability and ease of handling. Despite its compact size, this engine features a sophisticated one-cylinder OHV 4-stroke design that prioritizes fuel efficiency and quiet operation. The digital CDI ignition system ensures a fast, reliable spark for effortless manual starting every time you head out on the water.
One of the standout features of the DF6AL5 is its innovative 3-way storage capability. A new fuel and lubrication system allows you to store the motor on its front, left, or right side without the risk of oil or fuel leakage. This makes it incredibly easy to transport in a vehicle or stow on a larger vessel. Additionally, the integrated 1.5-liter fuel tank provides a clean, hose-free deck, while a built-in connector allows for an easy switch to an external tank for longer voyages.
