High Output Alternators
The DF150 and DF175 are equipped with alternators
that produce a maximum output of 44A (12V) and are
capable of producing
almost 80% of their
total output at a low
1,000 RPM. In most
cases, that’s enough
power to keep an
assortment of electron-
ics up and running.

■ Designed with Convenience
in Mind
Tilt Limit Switch
The motor tilt system incorporates a tilt limit switch
that prevents the motor from tilting beyond a predeter-
mined point. The system can be set by the user and can be
used to protect both the boat and motor from damage that
can occur when tilting the motor.
Two Engine Flush Ports
Salt, sand, and dirt can buildup in the engine’s cooling
system, causing damage over time. The DF150 and DF175
are equipped with two freshwater flush ports to make
flushing of the cooling system as convenient as possible.
One port located on the port side of the down housing and
a second located on the front panel provide easy access
and facilitate flushing of the system whether the boat is in
or out of the water.
Fuse Box
Fuses protecting the
outboard’s electric system
are assembled into a single
fuse box located on the
side of the outboard motor.
This configuration offers
convenient access and
creates a clean exterior.
Water-cooled Voltage Regulator with
Isolator
Both outboards incorporate a water-cooled voltage
regulator which dissipates heat in the regulator to enhance
the engine’s durability.
The regulator also includes isolator function in the battery
charging system that allows use of two batteries. Electric
current is split into two circuits. If the sub battery becomes
drained, this system will safeguard the main battery.
