Suzuki 40 HP Outboard for Sale: The DF40A

Forty horsepower is the point where outboards stop being portables and become proper boat engines with remote controls, power trim and charging systems strong enough to run electronics. Suzuki's DF40A fills that role with a three cylinder, fuel injected four stroke that is known for strong low speed torque and frugal running. Here is every Suzuki 40 HP outboard for sale in our stock.

DF40A Versions in Stock

In the code, A is the generation, T means power trim and tilt with remote control, L is the 20 inch shaft, W is white and 2 is the production series.

Boats That Suit a Suzuki 40 HP

  • Pontoon boats: small to mid size pontoons for relaxed cruising and fishing.
  • Aluminium fishing boats: 4.3 to 5.2 metre boats with a side or centre console.
  • Small runabouts and bowriders: light hulls rated for around 40 to 50 HP.
  • RIBs: 4.5 to 5 metre RIBs used for diving, tours or tender duty.

DF40A Features

Lean Burn fuel economy

Suzuki's Lean Burn Control adjusts the fuel mixture to the engine's load. At steady cruising speeds the engine runs leaner, so a day on the water uses less fuel.

Three cylinder torque

The DF40A shares its three cylinder block with the DF50A and DF60A. In 40 HP form, it delivers plenty of low down torque, which helps heavier boats and pontoons get moving.

Power trim and tilt

Trimming the engine while underway lets you lift the bow for speed and economy or tuck it in for rough water, and tilting it up makes launching and shallow running easy.

Charging output

A proper charging system keeps your battery topped up for a fish finder, lights and a bilge pump.

What You Need to Rig a Remote Engine

The DF40AT is a remote control engine, so it is steered and controlled from the helm. A complete installation normally needs:

  • A remote control box with throttle and shift cables.
  • A mechanical or hydraulic steering system.
  • A key switch and wiring harness, and gauges if not part of the control.
  • A starting battery and battery cables.
  • A fuel tank, fuel line and water separating filter.

If you are replacing an existing Suzuki, some parts may carry over. Send us details and we will tell you what you need.

40 HP or 50 HP?

Because the Suzuki 50 HP uses the same basic engine, it weighs about the same. If your boat is rated for 50 HP, the extra power can be worth it for heavy pontoons or bigger loads. If your hull or local rules limit you to 40, the DF40A is the natural choice.
