140HP SPC ELEC START & TILT, COUNTER ROT
Description
Suzuki Marine is globally recognised for making advanced technology and features available to boaters of all types - not just those who run the largest, highest-horsepower outboards. This tradition continues with the introduction of Suzuki's latest generation DF115BG and DF140BG 4-stroke outboards, the first in their class to offer all the advantages of drive-by-wire technology.
By bringing its proven drive-by-wire technology to its 115HP and 140HP in-line four-cylinder models, Suzuki is providing simplified rigging for a wide range of boat builders, along with silky smooth shifting, instant throttle response, enhanced performance and superior fuel efficiency. The reliability and precision control of Suzuki's drive-by-wire technology has been proven for years on Suzuki's popular 150HP through 350HP models.
DRIVE BY WIRE
- Operation from the remote control is delivered to the outboard via an electric signal instead of the traditional mechanical control cable design.
INCREASED COMPRESSION RATIO
- The compression ratio has been increased from 9.7:1 to 10.6:1 to achieve greater top speed and acceleration produced by the 2.0-litre displacement inline four-cylinder engines. Lean Burn fuel efficiency has also been significantly improved compared to the outgoing “A” series models. Tests have demonstrated as much as 10% improvement across mid-range to high-end cruising speeds.
EASY MAINTENANCE
- Specially designed to be easy for owners to perform maintenance tasks.
NEWLY DESIGNED AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
- The air intake structure was reviewed and improved.
DIRECT IGNITION
- Integrates the ignition coils into the spark plug caps.
LEAN BURN CONTROL SYSTEM
- The Lean Burn Control System supplies the optimal amount of fuel and air mixture depending on the navigation conditions.
OFFSET DRIVE SHAFT
- The engine powerhead is positioned closer to the front, moving the outboard’s centre of gravity forward.
2-STAGE GEAR REDUCTION
- This system which incorporates the Offset Driveshaft features a first stage reduction between the crankshaft and drive shaft, and a second stage reduction inside the gear case.
QUIET OPERATION
- Intake noise is suppressed with a resonator, resulting in quieter noise output.
INCREASED ALTERNATOR OUTPUT
- Newly designed ventilation which improves cooling around the coils.
IMPROVED GEAR CASE
- By optimising the gear oil passage, the spinning pinion gear generates negative pressure and it helps gear oil circulation.
