Hideto Nakamura A word from Suzuki engineers Hideto Nakamura Hideto Nakamura (Development and Design Group) Yukihiro YoshikawaYukihiro Yoshikawa PRODUCT In charge of engine design and overall design coordinator. Suzuki Employee for 16 years. Career in company: PWC engine development, snowmobile engine development, outboard engine design I worked on development and design of the outboard motor with a focus on reducing the total weight of the outboard engine. When we were developing the outboard, we wanted to reduce weight so we looked not only at the large parts, INFORMATION but at the smallest of parts, component shapes, processes, even the materials as well. We also used combus- tion and flow analysis extensively to determine the optimum shape of each part so as to obtain the desired power output from the engine. The new DF20A/15A/9.9B are extremely lightweight and produce great power output from low rpm. I’m very satisfied with the results.
