It’s no secret that there is a growing demand for more powerful outboard motors.

These outboards have, in turn, fueled a move to newer, larger boat designs that previously may have been powered by stern drive or inboard power.

So, as more powerful outboards are introduced, the boats get bigger and as the boats get bigger, outboards are getting more muscular. Suzuki embarked on a major engineering expedition to build the Ultimate outboard motor.

If you’re going to claim to be “The Ultimate Outboard Motor,” you’d better do more than just build great engines. This is why, for the past 10 years, Suzuki has been committed to cleaning up the marine environment through voluntary "Clean Up The World” activities around the globe, rallying more than 8,000 people to the cause.

This has evolved into Suzuki’s recently launched CLEAN OCEAN PROJECT. At the heart of this ongoing campaign is a truly innovative Micro Plastics Filter device designed for use on outboard motors. The first of its kind worldwide, this device allows boaters to become an important part of the solution to the global challenge of micro plastic pollution. This is only the beginning, as Suzuki is finding ways to reduce plastic waste while educating and informing the boating industry about this critical issue. Suzuki pledges itself to the important cause of protecting our planet’s waters, coastal environments and marine ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
