SUZUKI 50 HP DF50ATLW2 OUTBOARD MOTOR

Description

The Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale here is a brand new 50 HP Suzuki four stroke finished in Cool Test Gray, the light colour most people call white. It is a long shaft, remote steer motor with electric start, power trim and tilt and electronic fuel injection. We sell it in the sealed factory crate, the price is on this page, and we ship worldwide after sending you a delivery quote.

It is the same engine as the black DF50ATL2. You pick the W when you want the motor to match a white hull, or when you run in strong sun and like a lighter cowl. The rest of this page is what we would tell you if you called the shop.

Who buys the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale

Over the years the buyers of this model have fallen into a few groups. Knowing which one you are in helps you set up the motor right.

Owners of white fiberglass boats

Skiffs, small walkarounds, bay boats and runabouts in white gelcoat. A black motor on a white boat is fine, but plenty of owners want it to look like one package. The Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale does that.

Tender and charter operators

Yacht tenders, dive boats and small charter craft are often white, and they run long hours. Operators like the 941 cc block because it makes 50 HP without working hard, and the chain cam drive means one less wear item.

Owners in hot, sunny places

A light cowl stays cooler to touch in strong sun and fades less visibly over the years. The engine runs the same either way, but the motor looks newer for longer.

Repower customers

Many people replace an old white two stroke and want to keep the look of the boat. Swapping in the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale gives them a quieter, cleaner motor without changing the boat’s style.

What DF50ATLW2 stands for

Here is the model name broken down:

• DF: Suzuki four stroke.
• 50: 50 horsepower.
• A: the A generation with the 941 cc three cylinder.
• T: power trim and tilt.
• L: long shaft, 20 inch transom.
• W: white, Suzuki’s Cool Test Gray paint.
• 2: the version suffix on Suzuki’s order code. Our specs below are for this version.

No V in the name, so the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale uses the standard gearcase, not the high thrust pontoon version. No Z either, so it is standard rotation, which is what you want on a single motor boat.

Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale: technical data

Suzuki publishes the official numbers on its outboard motors site. If a dealer brochure ever disagrees, the Suzuki data and the motor’s own decal win.

Engineering you will notice

Brochures list a lot of features. These are the ones owners of the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale actually talk about after a season.

Low stress power

941 cc is a big displacement for 50 HP. The motor does not need to rev high to cruise, so it is quieter and smoother than many rivals in its class. That also tends to help long term wear.

Fuel injection that just starts

No carburetor, no choke, no flooding. The ECU meters fuel through sequential injectors. Turn the key, Easy Start cranks until it runs, and that is it.

Lean burn at cruise

When the load is light, the ECU leans the mixture. You do not notice it happening, but you notice it at the fuel dock after a long day at cruise speed.

Chain driven cams

The timing chain on the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale runs in oil and is not a service item. With good oil changes it is something most owners never touch.

Troll Mode capability

Add the Suzuki Troll Mode switch or compatible gauge and you can adjust idle speed in small steps. It is not included in the crate, but we can add it to your order.

Warnings and flush port

Over rev limiter, low oil pressure and overheat warnings protect the engine. The flush port lets you rinse with a garden hose without running the motor.

Matching the motor to your hull

The capacity plate on your boat is the first thing to check. If it allows 50 HP or more, the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale is a good fit for most 16 to 19 foot hulls. If it says 40 HP, look at the white 40 instead.

Some rough guidance from boats we have rigged:

• 16 foot aluminum with two people: lively, planes fast, plenty of reserve.
• 17 to 18 foot fiberglass skiff: comfortable cruise, good hole shot with a well matched prop.
• Dive boat or tender with four aboard: does the job, prop pitch needs to be on the low side.
• Pontoon over about 20 feet: consider the DF50AV high thrust model instead.

Setting it up for a tender or dive boat

Tenders and dive boats work the motor differently from a fishing skiff. They carry heavy loads for short runs, idle a lot alongside a yacht or a dive site, and get beached or pulled onto swim platforms. For that kind of use we set up the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale with a lower pitch prop for strong acceleration with people and tanks aboard.

Power trim earns its keep here. You can raise the leg for shallow landings and tilt it clear when the tender is lifted. Fit a good kill switch lanyard and make sure every driver uses it, because tenders often have changing crews.

Long idle periods can load up any engine. Every so often, run the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale at higher rpm for a few minutes to clear it out. Commercial operators should log hours and service by them, not by the calendar.

Rigging list for the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale

Remote motors need helm hardware. Go through this before ordering so nothing is missing when the crate arrives.

Genuine Suzuki rigging parts are shown on Suzuki’s parts and accessories pages. Ask us and we will quote them in the same shipment as the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale.

Prop selection notes

Aim for wide open throttle inside the 5,300 to 6,300 rpm band with your usual load. On a light boat you may run a higher pitch. On a loaded tender, lower pitch helps the hole shot. Aluminum props are cheaper and fine for most owners. Stainless gives slightly better grip and holds shape, at a higher price.

Tell us your boat length, weight, load and old motor, and we will suggest a starting prop for the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale.

Should you install it yourself?

On a boat with working Suzuki compatible controls and steering, an experienced owner can do it in a day with a hoist and a helper. On a bare boat, or one changing brands, we suggest a marine shop. Cable setup and harness routing done right the first time avoid trouble, and an install invoice is useful if you ever need warranty help.

Repowering with the white 50

A lot of our Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale orders replace an old two stroke. Things to plan for:

• Controls from another brand will not plug into a Suzuki harness. Plan on a Suzuki control box and harness.
• Replace throttle and shift cables while you are at it. Old cables are stiff and can be the wrong type.
• Inspect the transom around the old bolt holes for rot and fill unused holes properly.
• Remove any old oil injection tank and lines.
• Fit a new water separating filter, because old tanks hold water that EFI will not tolerate.

The result is a boat that starts first time, runs quieter and uses no two stroke oil.

Measuring the transom

Before ordering the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale, measure vertically from the top of the transom, where the clamp sits, down to the bottom of the hull at the centerline. Use a square or level so you are not measuring along the slope.

About 20 inches means the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale is right. About 15 inches needs a short shaft. About 25 inches needs an extra long. After fitting, the cavitation plate should sit level with or a little above the hull bottom. Use the bracket holes to fine tune.

Trim, handling and fuel use on the water

Start with the motor trimmed fully in for the hole shot. Once on plane, trim out a little at a time until the steering lightens and speed stops climbing. Go too far and the prop ventilates, and you will hear the revs jump. Find the middle and leave it there.

Fuel use depends on the hull, the load and your right hand. The lean burn system on the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale helps most at a steady, moderate cruise. Running flat out everywhere uses more fuel on any motor. If you fit a Suzuki gauge with fuel flow, you can see the rpm where your boat gets the best range and run there on longer trips.

Check wide open throttle rpm once a season with a normal load. If the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale no longer reaches 5,300 rpm, look at hull growth, extra weight, or a damaged prop before anything else.

First ten hours

A gentle break in sets the motor up for a long life. Here is the routine we give owners of the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale. The owner’s manual is the final word.

1. Hour one and two: low speed, under half throttle, short planing runs.
2. Hour three: up to around three quarters throttle, briefly.
3. Hours four to ten: normal running, lots of speed changes, short full throttle bursts.
4. All ten hours: no long steady runs at one rpm, check oil before each trip.

The first service falls at about 20 hours or one month. Oil, filter, gear oil and a check of fasteners and cable adjustment.

Keeping it serviced

A recreational owner of the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale usually services once a year. Commercial users should go by hours. This is the schedule we follow for the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale:

• Every use: oil level check, telltale check, flush after salt water.
• 20 hours or one month: first service.
• 100 hours or yearly: oil and filter, gear oil, grease, anodes, plugs inspected, fuel filter inspected.
• 200 hours or two years: spark plugs, fuel filter, thermostat check.
• Two to three years: water pump impeller, sooner in sandy water.

Oil capacity is about 2.7 liters. Use Suzuki four stroke marine oil and Suzuki gear oil so there is no question if you ever make a warranty claim.

Thinking about costs over five years

Owners sometimes ask what the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale costs to keep. Over five years of normal leisure use, expect five oil and filter changes, five gear oil changes, a couple of sets of plugs, an impeller or two, anodes and fuel filters. There is no timing belt to budget for. Fuel will be the biggest cost by far, and the lean burn system helps keep that down.

Salt water and the white finish

The light paint shows salt and grime quickly. That is good, because it tells you when to rinse. To keep the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale looking right:

• Flush through the port with fresh water after every salt trip.
• Rinse the outside and wipe down the cowl.
• Wax the cowl twice a year with a marine wax.
• Check and replace anodes when half used. Never paint them.
• Touch up chips on the leg so bare metal is not exposed.
• Spray connectors and the powerhead with corrosion inhibitor.

Off season storage

Before a long layup, stabilize the fuel and run the motor so treated fuel reaches the injectors. Flush, then change the oil and gear oil. Take the battery home and keep it charged. Grease the fittings and cover the motor with a breathable cover. In spring the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale should start on the first turn of the key.

Spares to carry

Keep a spare lanyard, a set of plugs and a plug spanner, a fuel filter, a prop nut kit with washer and cotter pin, and a few fuses in a dry bag. That small kit fixes most of what stops a Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale away from the dock.

Fixes for the common complaints

If the warning stays on, do not keep running the Suzuki DF50ATLW2 for sale. A short tow home is cheaper than a powerhead.
