Suzuki introduces an all new lightweight 25PS 18 4kW Four Stroke Outboard
This new 25PS (18.4kW) model is the first Suzuki 4-stroke outboard to feature a V-Twin powerhead. The 70ยบ v-bank angle is wide enough to minimize vibration without the use of a counterbalance system, and narrow enough to provide a compact profile on the transom. The V-twin layout also moves the center of gravity forward, compared to an inline powerhead. This allows for better balance on the transom, and makes the engine easier to tilt. Since engines in this category typically are tilted by hand, a little bit of help is a big advantage. Twin cylinders, each displacing 269cm3 (total displacement is 538cm3) combined with 2 overhead valves per cylinder, produce maximum power at 5,000 rpm. The engine uses a single carburetor for easy maintenance and lighter weight. Aluminum block and aluminum connecting rods contribute to the lightweight design.
