Suzuki Marine GB Offers Advanced Marine Engines to Ensure Clean and Green Navigation
If you’ve ever surfed the web, you’re likely to have come across that message ‘By accepting cookies you will be helping us to continue to provide you with the best possible service.’ However, Suzuki Marine GB offers more than just cookies. Suzuki Marine GB offers a broad catalogue of outboard engines suitable for virtually any application. Ranging from single-cylinder units through to V6 models, the engines are used on all types of leisure craft and commercial vessels.
Technical Features of Suzuki Marine GB Engines
Suzuki Marine GB offers an extensive range of marine engines that cater to marine navigation for both commercial and recreational purposes. “We’ve got marine engines which range in power output from 2.5 to 350 horsepower,” says Mark Beeley, head of Marine & ATV at Suzuki GB. The engines’ technical advancements make them cleaner and greener. The marine engines produced by Suzuki are developed specifically for use on water, allowing the incorporation of different features to improve efficiency.
Suzuki’s Lean Burn technology optimizes fuel usage by adjusting the fuel/air mix. Dependent on engine load, the ratio can be adjusted hundreds of times per second to achieve the most efficient mix, reducing fuel consumption and in turn cutting overall emissions. Unlike most engines that have a single peak sweet spot where economy and power output are balanced for optimal fuel efficiency, the Lean Burn has a flat line. This helps to extend the number of opportunities to reduce fuel consumption.
Furthermore, Suzuki is building up its range of new, third-generation four-stroke engines – the company no longer offers two-stroke models in Europe. The latest of these are the DF115 BG and DF140 BG, which use a fly-by-wire control system. These engines are the first to feature a micro-plastic collection device as standard. It is part of the Clean Ocean Project, which Suzuki has been running for about 15 years. A collection filter on the exit of the water cooling circuit captures micro-plastics. When it’s full, the system will divert to using a bypass valve.
Unique Design of Suzuki Marine GB Engines
Unlike most outboard engine designs that see the full unit hung off the stern of the boat, Suzuki developed a different setup. This involves moving the engine block forward and a gear mechanism fitted in that space which supports an off-set driveshaft. This means that the transom supports more of the engine weight, helping with overall balance. Furthermore, the 300, 325 and 350 V6 GEKI series engines have a dual propshaft setup, with one inside the other. The two propellers are counter-rotating, which helps to reduce the transverse thrust of a single large prop.
As for maintenance, like most manufacturers, marine engines can operate for about 100 hours before needing a service. Regular servicing helps to extend the life of the engine. Suzuki has had some units that have delivered upwards of 20,000 hours of service, which is quite spectacular.
Final Thoughts
While having a fuel-efficient engine, there is a need to clean up the oceans, and Suzuki is doing its part. Every Suzuki operation around the world is obliged to take one day each year where the respective team will go and help to clean up a beach, removing all the rubbish. Even the shirts the team were wearing on the Suzuki stand at Seawork 2024 are made from recycled plastic. As for the possibility of a hybrid engine, Suzuki’s drive for dependable technology is critical to customer safety.
