First up is Gus Blakely, vice president marine sales, Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.Check out the latest Suzuki outboard models at Jet Ski of Miami. And since we don't have the space to include the complete interviews in the magazine, we thought we would feature some of them online. We don't want to steal any of the thunder from that story, but we did gather some good interviews. In a noise com-parison test between the DF200A and a competing 200HP in-line four-stroke outboardIn the next issue of the magazine, we will be running a Market Trends piece on outboards. Suzuki engineers go to great lengths incorporating methods designed to keep outboard operation as quiet as possible. Suzuki four-stroke outboards have long been noted for their exceptionally quiet operation.

The repower market is also important as people get back into boating, and want to take advantage of the latest advancements in engine technology by replacing their old, low-tech outboards with todayвЂ™s reliable, fuel efficient models. What is driving that, and will it continue?Suzuki 200hp Four-Stroke: Engine Review DF200A combines power with light weight and efficiency Suzuki launched its DF200A onto the Aussie market late in 2014 with little fanfare, yet this slim, smooth, in-line four cylinder, EFI four-stroke outboard motor is impressively appointed and Gus Blakely: A strong economy over an extended period of time certainly has a lot to do with strong motor and boat sales. BI: The NMMA says outboard engine retail sales have increased for eight consecutive years, nearly reaching pre-recession levels. Doing the same trip to where I fish, Same boat, gear, fuel, distance and people I have. Im comparing it to a 2003 homda 200, with the same prop, (size snd pitch). Awesome is the only way to start this review, I love this engine.

This eliminates the need to order вЂњrightвЂќ or вЂњleftвЂќ to achieve the enhanced balance and steering control of counter-rotating propellers. You also have to consider prop rotation вЂ” Suzuki offers several V6 models with selectable propeller rotation direction. Suzuki has always worked at making our motors as lightweight and compact as possible, and offering the shaft lengths needed to accommodate a wide range of boat styles and multi-engine installations. What are you seeing at your company?Blakely: Weight and dimensions become increasingly important when youвЂ™re talking about hanging two, three or more outboards across the transom of a boat.

That, and the fact that Suzuki has listened to what the market wants and needs and acted to meet the demand. They also provide exceptional vessel control in close-quarter maneuvering situations like docking and launching/retrieving.Blakely: What do you feel is your biggest competitive advantage in the category?Blakely: Being the only manufacturer with twin contra-rotating propeller outboards вЂ” and now having both 350 hp and 300 hp models to offer вЂ” gives us something that no other brand can offer. Twin contra-rotating propellers also minimize the effects of steering torque, translate more of the engineвЂ™s power to forward movement, and increase fuel efficiency. This design excels at pushing todayвЂ™s large, heavy center console fishing boats, especially when theyвЂ™re loaded down with people, gear, ice and the dayвЂ™s catch.
