SUZUKI 9.9 HP DF9.9BTLW2 OUTBOARD MOTOR

Description

We have the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale new in the factory crate. It is a 9.9 horsepower two cylinder four stroke with a 20 inch long shaft, electric start, power tilt, a side mount remote control box and a white cowl. The price is on this page, and we ship it worldwide.

This is one of the few small Suzukis built for remote steering and power tilt together. You tell us where the boat is, we send a delivery quote for your address, and you decide after you have seen the full cost. Nothing is charged before that quote.

Below you will find the specifications, what each letter in the model code means, which boats the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale suits, how to rig it, how to break it in and how to look after it. It is long because a motor like this lasts for years, and the details are worth getting right before you pay.

Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale: Specifications

Production runs change small details, so the paperwork in the crate is the final word. Suzuki lists the portable range on its official 2.5 to 30 HP outboard page if you want to compare models.

Reading the Code on the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale

DF is Suzuki’s four stroke prefix. The 9.9 is the horsepower. B is the generation of this small block. T on this size means power tilt, not full power trim and tilt, so you get a motor that lifts and lowers on a button but trims in five fixed pin positions. L is the 20 inch shaft. W is the white cowl. The 2 at the end marks the production series.

There is no H in the code, so there is no tiller handle. The Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale is a remote steering model. There is no E either, because on the remote models the electric start is built in and the T already tells you the rest.

Why the White Cowl Matters

Colour does nothing for performance, but it does matter on a boat. A white cowl sits better on a white hull, a white tender or a sailing yacht with a stern bracket, and it does not look like a black block bolted to the back. Owners who care about the look of the boat often ask for white first.

If colour does not matter to you, look at the black version, the Suzuki DF9.9BTL2. The engine is the same. We keep both so you can pick by appearance and price.

The Long Shaft and Your Transom

A 20 inch shaft is meant for a transom about 20 inches tall, measured from the top of the transom to the bottom of the hull. Most jon boats, skiffs, aluminium fishing boats and many sailboat stern brackets fall in that range. The Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale is the motor to choose when a short shaft would pull the prop out of the water in chop, but a 25 inch shaft would be too deep.

Measure before you order. Put a straight edge across the transom and measure straight down to the hull bottom. If you get 15 inches, look at the DF9.9BTS2. If you get 25, look at the DF9.9BTX2.

Remote Steering and Power Tilt in Daily Use

Remote steering means the motor has no tiller handle. You steer with a wheel or a push-pull cable system and shift and throttle from a control box beside the helm. The box that goes with this model is the standard side mount type. Nothing sits in the way of passengers, and the driver can stand or sit anywhere near the wheel.

Power tilt is the other half. On a boat where you launch from a beach, a trailer or a floating dock, the button saves your back. Lift the motor to clear shallow water, lower it again without leaving the helm. If you have ever lifted a 120 lb motor by hand on a wet ramp you will understand why people pay for it.

Boats That Suit the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale

Medium jon boats and skiffs

On a 14 to 16 foot aluminium boat with a console, 9.9 horsepower gives a lively ride with two adults and some gear. It is also enough to push a light boat on plane with a single person aboard.

Sailboat auxiliary power

Many sailing dinghies and small cruisers use a bracket-mounted outboard as the engine. The long shaft keeps the prop in the water when the stern lifts, and the alternator can top up a house battery on a long motor.

Trolling and kicker duty

Fishermen use a 9.9 as a trolling motor on a bigger boat. It idles low and quietly, and the remote controls mean you can run it from the same console as the main engine.

Small utility and work boats

Water taxis, dive tenders and harbour workboats get through a lot of hours. The remote layout makes it easy to rig a clean console and swap crew.

How the Motor Feels to Run

On the water, the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale idles smooth and quiet. The exhaust leaves through the propeller hub, so you hear water more than engine. Shifting is positive, and there is a start-in-gear lockout that stops the motor cranking unless the lever is in neutral.

With the supplied four blade prop the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale gets the boat gets going quickly and holds a steady pace under load. That prop favours push over top speed, which is exactly what a heavier skiff or a sailboat tender needs. For a lighter hull you may want a different pitch, covered below.

Rigging the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale

You need a side mount control box with cables, a key switch and wiring harness, a battery of suitable size, a steering system and a fuel supply. Many buyers use the supplied 3.1 US gallon tank and line while setting up, then move to a built-in tank later.

Keep the battery cables short and thick, and fuse the positive lead near the battery. Run the harness away from sharp edges. Mount the motor so the anti-ventilation plate sits level with the bottom of the hull, or a touch above it, then adjust after a trial run. If the prop slips in turns, lower the motor a hole. If there is heavy spray, raise it.

The 12 A alternator is enough for navigation lights and a small sounder. It will not run a large electronics stack, so add a separate battery charger if you carry a lot of equipment.

Choosing a Propeller

The right prop lets the motor reach 5,000 to 6,000 rpm at full throttle with your normal load. If it cannot reach the range, the pitch is too high. If it spins past the top end, go up. The four blade 10 by 5 prop supplied suits heavy boats and sailboat duty. For a light skiff with one or two people, a higher pitch three blade is usually a better match.

Genuine props and service parts are listed on the Suzuki genuine parts and accessories site. Tell us your boat and we will suggest a starting prop.

Breaking In a New 9.9

Follow the schedule in the manual for your Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale. In short, keep the revs varied for the first hours and avoid long runs at full throttle. Change the engine oil and filter at the first service. Check that cooling water is leaving the tell-tale before every run.

Do not let the new motor idle for long periods in the first hours. A smooth, varied load beds the rings in better than constant low revs.

Maintenance on the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale

• Flush with fresh water after every salt water or muddy trip. The flushing port is on the cowl side.
• Change the oil and filter at the intervals in the manual, or once a year for light use.
• Change the gear oil each season. Milky oil means water is getting past a seal.
• Replace the water pump impeller every two to three seasons, sooner in sandy water.
• Check the anodes and replace them when half gone.
• Change the fuel filter and keep the fuel fresh.
• Inspect the spark plugs and grease the swivel and tilt points.

The Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale is easy to service. Most owners do the oil, plugs and gear oil at home.

Fuel Use and Running Costs

We will not quote fuel figures, because they depend on the hull, the load, the prop and how you drive. What we can say is that electronic fuel injection and Suzuki’s Lean Burn Control System are there to trim consumption at cruising speed, and a four stroke uses far less than the old two stroke 9.9 it often replaces. Parts like filters, plugs and impellers are common stock items in most countries.

Which 9.9 Is Right for You

Suzuki makes the DF9.9B in many combinations, and this is where buyers get lost choosing between the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale and its neighbours. Here is how the neighbours compare.

• The DF9.9BTL2 is the same motor with a black cowl.
• The DF9.9BTS2 has a 15 inch shaft.
• The DF9.9BTXW2 is white with a 25 inch shaft.
• The DF9.9BEL5 is a tiller model with electric start and manual tilt.
• The DF9.9BTHLW2 adds a tiller handle to the white long shaft layout.

If you want remote steering, power tilt and a white finish, the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale is the one that ticks all three.

Salt Water and Sun

On the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale, Suzuki applies multi layer corrosion protection and the motor is rated for salt water, but it still needs your help. Flush after every trip, rinse the cowl, and keep the electrical connections clean. White paint shows dirt and salt streaks faster than black, so wipe the cowl with a damp cloth and a little mild soap now and then.

In strong sun, park the boat with the motor tilted up if it will sit in water. Keep the cowl shaded when you can.

Storage Between Trips

With the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale, after the last run, flush the motor and let it drain in the down position, then tilt it up. If it will sit for a few weeks, use a battery maintainer. For longer storage, stabilise the fuel, change the oil, grease the swivel and fit a cover. Follow the manual for fuel system storage steps.

Common Problems and Quick Checks

Will not crank. Check the lanyard is clipped on, the lever is in neutral and the battery terminals are tight.

Cranks but will not start. Squeeze the primer bulb until firm, open the tank vent and check for water in the fuel.

Weak water stream. Clear the tell-tale outlet with a thin wire. If it is still weak, have the impeller checked.

Power tilt will not move. Check the fuse and the connection at the switch before anything else.

Will not reach full rpm. The prop pitch is too high or the load is too heavy. Check those first.

Who Buys the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale

Most of our buyers fall into three groups. The first is the owner of a sailboat or a small cruiser who wants a clean white outboard on a stern bracket. The second is a fisherman with a console skiff who wants remote steering and a button to lift the motor. The third is a small operator, such as a dive shop or a harbour tender service, that needs a compact motor it can rig once and forget.

The feedback after a season tends to be the same. The Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale starts without fuss, idles quietly and does not need more than normal servicing. That is the kind of record you want from a motor that spends its life behind a boat.

Repowering with the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale

Plenty of buyers are replacing an old two stroke 9.9 or 15. Before you swap, check the transom. Press around the bolt holes on a wooden transom and look for soft spots or black rot. Aluminium transoms should be checked for cracks around the clamp area. A 120 lb motor puts real load on those points.

Replace the old control cables and the steering cable while everything is off the boat. Stiff or kinked cables make any new motor shift badly, and they cost little compared with the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale. Replace the fuel line and the primer bulb too. Old rubber hardens and leaks air, and air in the line causes stalling that looks like an engine fault.

On the first run, watch the tell-tale, listen for odd noises and see how the boat trims. Adjust the mounting height until the boat runs level and the prop holds in turns. After that you should not need to touch the setup again.

Fitting It to a Sailboat Bracket

If the motor goes on a stern bracket, check that the bracket is rated for a 120 lb engine. Many older brackets are rated lower. Make sure the long shaft reaches deep enough with the boat loaded and the stern squatting, and that the prop does not lift out when the boat pitches. A 20 inch shaft is the right starting point for many bracket installs, but measure to be sure.

Power tilt helps here more than anywhere, because lifting the motor clear of the water under sail cuts drag, and the button is easy to reach from the cockpit if you run the wire neatly. Remember the Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale needs a battery and a control box, so plan where they will go.

Warranty Notes

The Suzuki DF9.9BTLW2 for sale ships with Suzuki factory warranty paperwork. The length of cover depends on your region and on whether the motor is used for leisure or work. Keep receipts and service records, and follow the service schedule. Ask us about warranty in your country before you order, and we will tell you what applies.
