Suzuki 9.9 HP DF9.9BS Outboard Motor

At 97.0000 pounds, the DF9.9BS is the lightest configuration of Suzuki's 9.9 hp EFI four-stroke offered here: a 15-inch short shaft, manual pull-rope start, and tiller steering, with a decompression release built in to ease the pull on a motor that has no electric starter.

Who tends to pick this configuration

Short shaft and manual start together make this a sensible pick for lighter jon boats and skiffs with a lower transom, or as a compact auxiliary or trolling motor where every pound saved matters. If your boat calls for a longer shaft, this particular configuration is not the right fit, so check that measurement with us first.

Running gear and standard features

Electronic fuel injection feeds the engine instead of a carburetor, and the included 3.1-gallon tank keeps it self-contained for trailering. Shifting runs forward, neutral and reverse through a front-mounted lever, steering stays at the tiller, and the usual Suzuki safeguards apply here too: low oil pressure and overheat warnings, an over-rev limiter, and a lockout against starting while already in gear.

Does it have electric start? No; starting is by manual pull rope, eased by a decompression release.

What ships along with the motor? The fuel tank and line, owner's manual, propeller and a tool kit.

Suzuki's three-year warranty applies to this engine, and the simple, no-battery design keeps upkeep down to routine oil changes and making sure the propeller stays clear of fishing line and debris.
