First Look at the All-New Suzuki DF350AMD
Our first integrated steering system, all-new gear case and when it will be available – discover the brand-new Suzuki DF350AMD
Cleaner motorwell, more reliable gear shifts and higher top speed. For the first time since it’s 2017 launch, Suzuki Marine releases a new model in its flagship DF350 range – introducing the all-new Suzuki DF350AMD.
ABOUT THE NEW SUZUKI DF350AMD
5 Years after it first started production – launching as an award-winning outboard – Suzuki’s flagship DF350A outboard gets a brand-new range addition in the new Suzuki DF350AMD.
It features 3 key feature updates you’ll want to know about. And what’s pretty cool about it, is that Suzuki focused 100% on solving a few practical concerns with the new addition.
WHAT’S NEW ON THE SUZUKI DF350AMD
Suzuki put their engineering heads towards improving a key installation concern with the new DF350AMD. See, on some boat types, installing the DF350 requires you to use an external steering cylinder on the motor well to control the steering axis.
And, in many such cases, if you had any trouble, it’s usually this external sterling cylinder that caused it.
So Suzuki set out to provide an elegant new solution with an all-new Suzuki Integrated Steering System. Plus: Used the opportunity to update the gear case and eke some extra performance out of the engine – because, why not?
Here’s what’s new and improved on the Suzuki DF350AMD.
1 NEW INTEGRATED STEERING SYSTEM
With the conventional external steering cylinder setup (left), you have an additional (often third-party) hydraulic system impacting your steering. Which just leaves room for things to go wrong.
So, Suzuki introduces the all-new Integrated Steering System (right), which incorporates your steering axis and control internally in the new Suzuki DF350AMD. Giving you better, more reliable steering, control and operation.
2 ALL-NEW ADVANCED GEAR CASE
And what better time to update the gear case a bit?
The DF350AMD features a new oil circulation mechanism that lowers the oil temperature and reduces the amount of oil needed to operate the engine.
Instead of using 3.2 Litres of oil, the DF350AMD uses only 2.8 Litres.
And internal tests show not only better durability and reliability, but also 2% better performance.
PLUS: The new gear case also makes maintenance easier, because you n longer need to lift the boat when changing oil – bonus!
3 SAME CRAFTSMANSHIP AND QUALITY
Not everything needs to be updated. The new Suzuki DF350AMD will feature the same craftsmanship you enjoy in the DF350A.
It still comes with a dual prop, louvers, injectors and water intakes.
In short: The same looks and quality, with a few smart updates and extra performance.
WHEN WILL THE DF350AMD BE AVAILABLE IN SOUTH AFRICA?
The new outboards will arrive in January 2023 and will be available in black and white, with 25” and 30” shaft options.
