Suzuki DF350A

The Suzuki DF350A’s dual propellers provide three key benefits, compact size, increased stability and greater “traction.” By distributing the power of the engine over six blades, instead of just three, the size of the gears and gear case could be kept to a minimum, which in turn allow for a sleeker, more hydrodynamic gearcase design. Suzuki DF350A engineers spent many hours in computer simulation and on the water, knowing that reducing drag underwater would be essential to improving overall boat speed and performance. Contra-rotating propellers also provide added surface area, for more stability and increased “traction” or grip underwater. This results in exceptional acceleration, or hole-shot, truer directional propulsion (eliminating steering torque), better than expected top speeds and incredible reverse thrust. Importantly, these benefits are apparent even on heavier boats with full loads of fuel, gear and people.
