That easy, reliable starting is the real high point of this motor, especially when one considers how regularly small four-stroke carburetors get clogged up with ethanol gunk. Sure, EFI is also more fuel efficient than carbs, but the truth of the matter is that an engine this small barely sips down any fuel in the first place, so it's not much of a factor. In the case of the DF15A, I shake the three gallon remote tank every few trips and when it feels light, fill ‘er up. On average, maybe it burns out a half a gallon of gas during an afternoon of crabbing or on an eight to 10 mile round-trip to the duck blind. here
Of course, no outboard engine is perfect, and there are a couple areas where I’ve noted room for improvement. The adjustable tiller steer tensioner, which allows you to change how much force it takes to turn the engine, vibrates loose through the course of a day and requires regular re-adjustment. And the shift linkage requires a very exact setting; it took me a dozen or so adjustments to get the engine shifting properly again, after pulling the lower unit for the water pump change. [links]
The Suzuki DF15A is a small outboard engine, not something we'd usually call "big" news. Usually. [links]
Sure, the DF15A has a list of other features Suzuki likes to talk about. There’s lean-burn, which leans out the air/fuel mixture in the mid-range. It’s a few pounds lighter than its main competitors. It has a low-oil caution light. But truth be told, a 15 horse portable is simple and small enough that all of this stuff pales in comparison to plain old easy starting and reliability.
Well, time has told—I’ve now been using a DF15A on my crabbing skiff and duck hunting boats for three solid years. This engine has been shuffled back and forth between the transoms of the two boats, getting around 150 hours of use during the warm months of the year and 50 hours of use during the late fall and winter. It’s been thoroughly abused, as is often the case with a small portable outboard used for diverse purposes. It’s been abruptly shut down by running over a trot-line; it’s been rained and snowed on; it’s been run hard aground in mud, sand, and marsh; it’s been operated at or near full-throttle virtually every time it’s been used; and it’s been run on month-old, regular octane ethanol gas. here

This is the only engine in the 40 hp class to offer DOHC performance, and also the only engine in its class to incorporate a maintenance-free, oil-bathed timing chain, which provides the outboard with increased durability and maintenance free operation. With larger displacements for increased power and performance, Suzuki's Lean Control System for improved fuel economy and designs that are more compact and lighter in weight than the predecessor, the new DF40A engines also incorporate the Suzuki Troll Mode System. During the 2011 Miami Boat Show, the Boating Writers of America presented Suzuki Marine with the NMMA Innovation Award for the DF40A/DF50A. [links]
