First Look at the All-New Suzuki DF350AMD

Cleaner motorwell, more reliable gear shifts and higher top speed. For the first time since it’s 2017 launch, Suzuki Marine releases a new model in its flagship DF350 range—introducing the all-new Suzuki DF350AMD.

The DF350AMD features three key feature updates you’ll want to know about. And what’s pretty cool about it is that Suzuki focused 100% on solving a few practical concerns with the new addition.

Suzuki put their engineering heads towards improving a key installation concern with the new DF350AMD. See, on some boat types, installing the DF350 requires you to use an external steering cylinder on the motor well to control the steering axis. And, in many such cases, if you had any trouble, it’s usually this external sterling cylinder that caused it.

So Suzuki set out to provide an elegant new solution with an all-new Suzuki Integrated Steering System. Plus, they used the opportunity to update the gear case and eke some extra performance out of the engine.

Here’s what’s new and improved on the Suzuki DF350AMD:

1. New Integrated Steering System

With the conventional external steering cylinder setup, you have an additional (often third-party) hydraulic system impacting your steering, which just leaves room for things to go wrong. So, Suzuki introduces the all-new Integrated Steering System which incorporates your steering axis and control internally, giving you better, more reliable steering, control and operation.

2. All-New Advanced Gear Case

The DF350AMD features a new oil circulation mechanism that lowers the oil temperature and reduces the amount of oil needed to operate the engine. Instead of using 3.2 liters of oil, the DF350AMD uses only 2.8 liters. And internal tests show not only better durability and reliability, but also 2% better performance. Plus, the new gear case also makes maintenance easier, because you no longer need to lift the boat when changing oil.

3. Same Craftsmanship And Quality

Not everything needs to be updated. The new Suzuki DF350AMD will feature the same craftsmanship you enjoy in the DF350A. It still comes with a dual prop, louvers, injectors and water intakes.

In short: The same looks and quality, with a few smart updates and extra performance.
