Details & Inspection Notes
The DF20ATHL2 brings power tilt to Suzuki's 20 HP engine, trading the manual trim lever for a powered switch, matched to large or heavy jon boats and skiffs that need the extra reach of a long shaft.
What makes this version different
A powered tilt mechanism, adjustable through locking pin positions, helps most on heavier hulls where the motor needs raising and lowering often, which is the main thing separating this from the base 20 HP models. Standard tiller steering and electric starting carry over unchanged, and the propeller keeps a 3-blade design, cut to 10.25 inches in diameter with a 9.0-inch pitch.
Under the cowling
Digital CDI handles ignition timing, with a 145-watt alternator wired in to support the electric starter and a 3.1-gallon tank feeding fuel through its own hose.
Common questions
How does the tilt switch help day to day? It saves cranking a lever by hand every time the motor needs raising for shallow water or trailering.
What boats suit this motor? Larger or heavier jon boats and skiffs, along with sailboat auxiliary and trolling duty.
A manual, tool kit, and Suzuki's 3-year warranty round out the package, matching the coverage on the rest of this engine's lineup. Owners who tilt the motor up for beaching or trailering several times a trip tend to notice the switch's convenience fastest.
