Purpose and key benefit Direct-fit replacement component for Suzuki DF40A, DF50A and DF60A 4-stroke outboard engines. Designed to improve water flow and cooling efficiency, helping prevent overheating and maintain consistent engine performance. Compatibility (exact fit) Tailor-made to fit engine models 17400-88L00 and 17400-88L01. Use when replacing the original part to retain factory fit and function. What makes it stand out Engineered specifically for these Suzuki outboards to ensure proper alignment, sealing, and water passage. Improves cooling performance compared with worn or aged components, which can reduce engine temperature spikes and protect internal parts. Durability and materials Constructed from durable materials selected to withstand the marine environment, resisting wear and exposure typical of outboard use. Built to tolerate regular operation and the rigors of saltwater or freshwater service without compromising performance. Performance benefits Enhances water flow through the engine’s cooling passages, supporting stable operating temperatures and consistent power delivery. Helps maintain engine efficiency and can reduce the risk of heat-related damage that leads to costly repairs and downtime. Installation and maintenance Designed for straightforward installation with detailed instructions included. Fits as a direct replacement to simplify the swap and reduce installation time. Compatible with routine maintenance schedules; replacing this component as part of preventative care helps extend the engine’s service life and preserves performance. Why you need it Replacing a worn or damaged original part restores proper cooling and water flow, prevents overheating, and reduces the chance of engine failure while underway. Direct-fit design minimizes installation errors and ensures the engine continues to operate as intended by the manufacturer. Typical applications / use scenarios 1. Recreational day boating: Replace this component during spring commissioning to restore reliable cooling for DF40A/DF50A/DF60A engines after seasonal storage. 2. Offshore or coastal fishing: Install as part of preventative maintenance to ensure steady cooling performance during long runs and reduce the risk of heat-related shutdowns. 3. Rental or commercial tender operations: Use as a durable replacement to keep fleet engines operating reliably under frequent use and to reduce unscheduled downtime. Compatible, durable, and engineered for DF40A, DF50A and DF60A engines using model numbers 17400-88L00 and 17400-88L01. Easy to install and maintain to help keep your outboard cooling system working as intended.
