Bold cuts follow the popular engine cover design already featured on the DF20A/15A/9.9B and DF30A/25A. The new Pearl Nebular Black color of the body and new decals make for a stylish design. Our pursuit of progress was guided by the development concepts of "light weight" and "easy operation". Overhauling the existing design has achieved a comprehensive weight reduction and improved operability. We increased fuel efficiency through a bold redesign of the lubricating system, starting with a first-in-its-class*2 oil filter, and use of an offset crankshaft. Packed with features, such as an integral overhead fuel tank for improved maintenance, a new tilt system and an easy-to-grip carrying handle, which can prove their worth in a variety of operating conditions, the DF6A, DF5A and DF4A have established themselves as the standard for portable outboards.

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES
More compact and much lighter
While maintaining the engine displacement of 138cm3, the conventional design has been overhauled and downsized to realize 1.0kg weight reduction (24.0kg*1). The lighter weight has improved operability.
Along with weight reduction, the carrying handle integrated into the lower cover which has been rounded and made easier to hold, and an additional grip at the front further improve its portability.
Enhanced user-friendliness
The overhead integral fuel tank and the new lubricating systems allow transport and storage of the outboard on any of three sides (port, starboard, or front) without leakage of fuel or oil.
Because the overhead fuel tank is placed right above the carburettor, it also allows gravity fuel supply, enabling the engine to start instantly right after filling fuel, even after long-term storage. These features have enhanced its user-friendliness as a portable outboard motor.
