The 4-stroke V6 DF350AMD is currently the most powerful engine in the Suzuki range, with a displacement of 4.4 litres. Accompanied in the range by the DF300BMD, these two engines are respective evolutions of the DF350A and DF300B. They retain the new crankcases, whose 4% reduced frontal width increases top speed by 2%, without increasing fuel consumption. Also new are the engine oil change system, which doesn't require taking the boat out of the water, the new transmission oil change system for easier maintenance, and the reduction in oil volume from 3.2l to 2.8l. The redesigned transmission oil path reduces oil temperature rise for improved reliability.
What's new is the addition of Suzuki's first integrated steering system, with electric assistance. This not only frees up the rear transom or basin, but also saves space when it comes to raising the engine completely. As a result, assembly is made easier, and manoeuvrability and riding comfort are enhanced. Hydraulic Directional Control Valve
The final new feature is the optional "Steer by Wire" joystick function, i.e. a hydroelectric system. Compatible only with these two engine models, it facilitates navigation.
Hydraulic Regulation Joystick It works like a conventional joystick, allowing sideways movement and 360° rotation. The Suzuki joystick offers the new "Dock" function for easy docking. This function does not involve docking the boat, but holding it towards the quay for 1 minute, the time it takes to disembark and dock. The only inconvenience that could be corrected is the sound signals emitted throughout the procedure.
