Suzuki DF15ATHL Portable Outboard Motor

20" Shaft | Tiller Handle | Electric Start | Power Tilt | 15 HP | 122 Lbs | Nebular Black

Unparalleled performance on the go.

The Suzuki DF15ATHL Portable Outboard Motor was designed for boaters who want dependable small-boat power without stepping back into older carbureted habits. With a 20" Shaft, tiller handle, electric start, and power tilt, this 15-horsepower four-stroke is well matched to small workboats and long-shaft fishing rigs that need stern-mounted control. It suits the kind of buyer who wants modern EFI manners, realistic operating costs, and a setup that stays friendly at the ramp and at the dock.

The engine starts easily, handles loads better than older small outboards, and keeps the setup simple for frequent users. With the tiller setup integrating steering and throttle at the stern, it offers direct feedback that's great for small boats. The power tilt feature provides handy convenience for adjusting loads, getting into shallow water, or lifting the engine at the ramp. This everyday ease adds significant value.
