The Suzuki DF6AS is an equally popular, reliable 4-stroke outboard motor. Where the Yamaha we just discussed is a 4 HP, this Suzuki is a 6 HP engine.

Here are all the details about the specifications, prices, and the meaning of the code.

New Price

• Recommended retail price: € 1,449,-

• Current average selling price (promotional price): € 1,249,-

What does the code DF6AS mean?

Suzuki uses the following logic for their model numbers:

• DF: 4-stroke engine (Four-stroke)

• 6: 6 HP power

• A: The model generation (Introduced as the new, lightweight generation)

• S: Short shaft (Transom height approx. 43.5 cm)

Key Specifications

• Power: 6 HP (4.4 kW)

• Cylinder capacity: 138 cc (1-cylinder)

• Weight: Only 23.5 kg. This is extremely light for a 6 HP engine (it is even lighter than the 4 HP Yamaha we just discussed!).

• Fuel tank: Built-in tank of 1.0 liter (and equipped with a connection for an external tank - also available at Marinaut)

• Gears: Forward - Neutral - Reverse

Key advantages of the Suzuki DF6AS

• Lightweight champion: At 23.5 kg, this is one of the lightest 6 HP engines on the market. Ideal if you frequently need to lift it.

• Three-way storage capability: Like the Yamaha, this Suzuki has an improved fuel and oil system, allowing it to be laid down in three different ways without oil or fuel leaking.

• Overhead fuel tank: The built-in tank is located directly above the carburetor. This allows fuel to flow to the engine by gravity. If your tank has been empty, the engine will start immediately after refilling without the need for excessive pumping.

• Ergonomics: It has a very large, comfortable carrying handle at the front and a grab handle at the back.

3). A pre-owned Yamaha 4 hp F4BMHL 4-stroke outboard motor long shaft €495, 3-month warranty.

The Yamaha F4BMHL is a very popular, reliable, and compact 4-stroke outboard motor. Here are all the details about its specifications and current new price.

New Price

• Recommended retail price: € 1,245,-

• What does the code F4BMHS mean?

Yamaha uses specific coding for their engines:

• F: 4-stroke (Four-stroke)

• 4: 4 HP power

• B: The model generation (the 'B' series is the more modern variant with the sleek, rounded cowl)

• M: Manual start

• H: Tiller control

• L: Long shaft (Transom height approx. 53 cm)

Key Specifications

• Power: 4 HP (2.9 kW)

• Cylinder capacity: 139 cc (1-cylinder)

• Weight: Only 27 kg (making it very easy to carry and mount)

• Fuel tank: Built-in tank of 1.1 liters (a connection for an optional external tank is available - also supplied by Marinaut).

• Gears: Forward - Neutral - Reverse (360-degree steering is not necessary for reverse).)

Important advantages of this model

• Anti-leak system: Yamaha designed this series so that you can lay the engine down on three different sides (for example, in the trunk of a car) without oil leaking out.

• Portability: Equipped with a large, ergonomic handle at the back, making it very easy to lift.

• CDI ignition: Ensures that the engine always starts directly and smoothly, even when cold.

• Shallow water drive: Useful for navigating in shallow water or approaching the shore.

It is an ideal engine for a small inflatable boat, dinghy (tender) or a small open fishing/touring boat.

Tohatsu 4 hp

If you have a small boat that needs reliable power, look to Tohatsu’s 4 hp 4-stroke. It offers Tohatsu's legendary quality while ensuring cleaner emissions for you and the environment. This portable bestseller has been upgraded with newly designed top and bottom cowlings based on Tohatsu Design Philosophy for Marine Products with ergonomically designed front and rear handles. Furthermore, you can now store your engine in 3 different positions without worrying about oil spillage. *Refer to the owner's manual for storage and transport guidelines.

• The first priority in developing the MFS engines is to make them as light and compact as possible, without compromising reliability, quality and performance. The economical 4-stroke outboards meet the long lifespan that Tohatsu owners appreciate the brand for.

• As a rule of thumb, for fast boats, you need 1 hp per 10 to 20 kilograms of total weight. Based on this, this outboard motor is suitable for 40 to 80 kilograms of total weight (e.g., an inflatable boat).
  For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient; then the motor is adequate for 600 to 800 kilograms.
