Suzuki DF2.5 2025: Featherweight Four Stroke Value
The 2025 Suzuki DF2.5 continues as the class’s lightest motor: a 68cc single-cylinder OHV four stroke at roughly 30 lbs. Its integral fuel tank sits directly above the carburetor for gravity feed — meaning instant starts right after fueling, even following long-term storage — while the Forward-Neutral shift plus 360° steering delivers full reverse thrust. Digital CDI ignition and water cooling round out a wonderfully simple package that anchors the value end of the 2.5HP outboard class.

Frequently Asked Questions

$1,150, in stock.

Fuel flows to the carburetor without a pump or priming, so the engine starts immediately after filling — even after months in storage.
How does it reverse?
Via full 360° steering rotation rather than a reverse gear.
