Suzuki 300 HP DF300APL2

Moving up again, Suzuki's 300 HP DF300APL2 tunes a 245.6 cubic inch V6 to 578 lb on a shorter 20-inch shaft, finished in Nebular Black.

Shaft length at this power level

A 20-inch shaft calls for a boat with a correspondingly deep transom, so measure carefully before ordering since mounting height changes how the propeller sits in the water at speed. Standard and counter rotation are both available on this listing, suiting either a single installation or one half of a counter-rotating twin set.

Controls

Throttle and shift run through Suzuki Precision Control rather than mechanical cables, while trim and tilt are powered rather than hand-cranked, set from the same console. Electric start gets the engine going without a pull cord at this horsepower, and shifting moves cleanly through forward, neutral and reverse.

Charging and care

A 54 amp alternator supports electronics and trim systems running together at full load, which matters as accessories and livewells draw more current at this power level. A flushing port rinses the cooling system with fresh water after time spent running in salt water, a habit that pays off over the years.

What shaft length does this motor use? 20 inches, shorter than other V6 motors in this lineup. Can it be rigged as part of a twin set? Yes, order matching standard and counter rotation units for the opposite side.
