Suzuki 20 HP DF20ATL Outboard Motor

Steering and shifting move off the motor entirely on the DF20ATL, run instead through a side-mount control box, paired with Suzuki's 20 HP engine, a long shaft, electric start, and power tilt.

What to check before buying

This is a console-rigged motor rather than a tiller model, so confirm your boat already has, or can take, remote steering before ordering; the included harness connects the control box to the engine, though a separate steering link arm and cable are needed to finish the hookup. The engine underneath runs digital CDI timing and a 2.08-to-1 gear ratio, shifted through the control box itself.

What's packed in

The side-mount control box arrives with its wiring harness, alongside a 3.1-gallon fuel tank, fuel line, and transom mounting hardware. A propeller, printed manual, and tool kit round out the crate, with Suzuki's 3-year warranty covering the engine.

Common questions

Is there a tiller on this motor? No; steering and shifting both run through the included side-mount control box.

Are steering cables included? The control box and harness come with it; a link arm and steering cable still need sourcing to finish the install.

Power tilt on this version works the same way as it does on the tiller-steered DF20ATHL2, raising and lowering the motor at a switch rather than a hand lever. Measure the distance from your console to the transom before ordering cables, since the harness included here only covers the control box end of the run.
