Suzuki 225 HP DF225TX2

Suzuki's 225 HP DF225TX2 pairs a V6 four-stroke block of 220.5 cubic inches with remote controls, weighing 606 lb with a 25-inch shaft rather than a tiller-steered setup.

Who this motor suits

At this weight and shaft length, the motor is sized for boats with a deeper transom, such as larger center consoles or offshore-capable hulls, rather than small skiffs or jon boats. Remote controls mean the throttle and shift lever mount at the helm console rather than on the engine itself, so confirm your rigging is already set up for remote steering before ordering.

Power and electrical load

The V6 layout produces 225 HP and charges the boat's batteries through a 54 amp alternator, which is enough headroom to run livewells, electronics and trim systems at the same time without dimming lights or dropping voltage. Electronic fuel injection feeds all six cylinders, and electric start is standard. A fresh water flushing port makes rinsing the cooling system straightforward after time in salt water.

Trim, shift and finish

Power trim and tilt lift and lower the motor from a switch, and the gear lever shifts forward, neutral and reverse through a standard rotation propeller on this listing. The finish is Nebular Black.

Is this a standard-rotation or counter-rotation motor? Standard rotation. What shaft length does it use? 25 inches, suited to a deeper transom than a short-shaft motor.
