Suzuki DF25A 2024: Battery-Less EFI Muscle for Serious Small Boats
The 2024 Suzuki DF25A pairs a 490cc in-line twin four stroke with Suzuki’s signature battery-less EFI — choke-free, prime-free starting and clean, efficient running with no battery required on manual-start models. Lean Burn Control extends cruise range dramatically, the 12V 14A alternator supports electronics, and a 2.09:1 gear ratio turns generous props. Tiller and remote configurations with a WOT range of 5,000–6,000 rpm make it flexible for main-engine or heavy-tender duty in the 25HP outboard class.
