Suzuki DF9.9BTL 9.9 HP EFI 4-Stroke Outboard Motor
The Suzuki DF9.9BTL combines Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), electric start, remote control operation, power trim and tilt, and a high-thrust propeller in a dependable 9.9 HP outboard package. Featuring a 20-inch long shaft, the DF9.9BTL is an excellent choice for sailboats, small pontoons, fishing boats, utility boats, and other applications that benefit from increased low-speed thrust and control.
Suzuki's battery-less EFI technology provides quick starts, responsive acceleration, smooth operation, and excellent fuel economy. The remote-control configuration allows the outboard to be operated from the boat's helm, and a Suzuki side-mount remote control box is included with the engine. Power trim and tilt provides convenient adjustment of the engine position for improved performance, shallow-water operation, trailering, and storage.
The included 4-blade high-thrust propeller provides increased blade area and is designed to deliver improved thrust, control, and maneuverability at lower speeds. This makes the DF9.9BTL especially well suited for sailboats, small pontoons, heavier displacement boats, and applications where pushing power is more important than maximum speed.

CONTROL CABLES REQUIRED
The Suzuki DF9.9BTL includes a Suzuki side-mount remote control box.
Throttle and shift control cables are NOT included and and can be ordered separately here. → Choose Your Suzuki Control Cable Length
Most installations require two control cables: one cable for throttle operation and one cable for shift operation.
The correct control cable length depends on the size of your boat, control box location, cable routing, and distance from the control box to the outboard. When measuring for cables, measure from the location of your control box to the back corner of the boat; then from the corner of the boat to the engine and add 2 feet.
Control Box to Corner + Corner to engine + 2 feet = Needed Cable Length
If you are unsure which control cable length or rigging components you need, contact Marine Parts Warehouse before ordering and our team will be happy to help.
