Suzuki 25 HP DF25ATS Outboard Motor

The Suzuki 25 HP DF25ATS combines the short 15-inch shaft with remote steering, so throttle and shift sit at a console rather than on a tiller, plus power trim and tilt.

Engineering behind it

This engine uses an electronic fuel injection system that meters fuel without drawing on an onboard battery, built around a lean-burn tune aimed at stretching range from each tank rather than chasing top speed. The design targets quick starts and steady acceleration instead, and it suits boats already wired for console steering rather than a transom-mounted tiller.

Rigging notes

A side-mount control box and harness ship with this motor so it can be wired into a console-mounted throttle and shift, and the short shaft suits a shallower transom than a long-shaft, remote-steer motor would. At 10.25 by 11, the three-blade aluminum propeller matches this configuration's output.

Protection built in

Protection includes a limiter against over-revving and a warning for low oil pressure, and a digital ignition module handles spark timing throughout the operating range. A fresh water flush after a trip in salt water helps keep the block and fittings in good shape over time.

Is this tiller or remote steered? Remote, with a side-mount control box and harness included. Does the fuel system need a battery? No, it runs on its own self-contained electrical system.
