DF6AS3
Marine Specialist Insight: The Suzuki DF6AS3 (MPN DF6AS3) is widely regarded as the high-torque champion of the portable class. With a massive 138cc displacement, it provides significantly more low-end grunt than its competitors, making it much easier to get small skiffs and inflatables on plane. This "S3" version features a 15-inch short shaft and Suzuki's innovative leak-free storage system, making it the definitive choice for the mobile boater.
Reliable 4-Stroke Power in a Portable Package
The Suzuki DF6AS3 (MPN: DF6AS3) delivers a level of performance and refinement that belies its small size. This single-cylinder OHV engine is engineered for quiet operation and exceptional fuel efficiency. Thanks to Suzuki's digital CDI ignition system, you can expect a reliable, effortless start every time, while the overhead valve design ensures the motor meets the world's most stringent emissions standards.
This model is built with the user in mind, featuring a 3-way storage system that allows the motor to be stowed on its front, left, or right side without oil leaking into the carburetor. Weighing only 52 lbs, it is one of the lightest 6 HP outboards available, and the large, ergonomically designed carrying handle makes it simple to transport from your truck to the transom. Whether you use the 1.5-liter internal fuel tank for harbor runs or connect an external tank for a day of fishing, the DF6AS3 is ready to perform.
