Suzuki 225 HP DF225TXW2

This is the white-cowling version of Suzuki's 225 HP V6 four-stroke, the DF225TXW2, carrying that same 220.5 cubic inch block on a 25-inch shaft.

Why the finish matters

Picking white over a darker cowling is mostly about matching the rest of the boat's hardware or hull color, since the block, electrical output and shaft underneath are identical to the other finish offered in this model, matching the 606 lb weight of that version. If you already run white-finished gear elsewhere on the boat, this keeps the look consistent at the transom.

Controls and fit

Remote controls carry the throttle and shift lever to the helm rather than to a tiller, so plan on console-mounted controls rather than operating from the back of the boat. Measure your transom against the 25-inch shaft before ordering, since this is the longer of the shaft lengths Suzuki offers in this horsepower class.

Running and charging

A switch sets the trim and tilt angle, electric start gets the engine going, and a 54 amp alternator is on board to keep electronics and trim systems powered together. Shift runs cleanly through forward, neutral and reverse on a standard rotation propeller, not a counter-rotation one.

Does the white finish change anything mechanically? No, weight, shaft length and alternator output match the black-finished DF225TX2. Is this standard or counter rotation? Standard rotation.
