The new lightweight DF6A has been redesigned with a larger and more ergonomic integrated carrying handle, making it easy to mount on the transom of a dinghy, small, or inflatable boat. Its Offset Crankshaft engine design allows the pistons to move smoothly and efficiently to reduce vibration and improve fuel efficiency.

The outboard also features a new tiller handle, which transmits less vibrations to the user; a gravity-fed fuel delivery system that eliminates the need to prime the fuel line before starting, even after storage; and an exclusive forced lubrication system, which adds an additional oil passage to the upper and lower crankshaft for cooler, more dependable operation. This lubrication and fuel systems will allow the outboard to be stored either on front, port, or starboard sides.
