Suzuki Marine Motors
Illowa Marine is proud to be authorized Suzuki dealer. Why? Simply because they are the most advanced, dependable and lowest maintenance outboards on the market today. Suzuki outboard motors are the most advanced 4 stroke motors on the market today. Suzuki was one of the first to develop and perfect fuel injection for outboard motors over a 20 years ago; whereas other outboard companies only began offering fuel injection in selected motors a in the past 5-6 year. Suzuki's fuel injection, combined with variable value timing, make their motors the most fuel efficient four strokes on the market today. They run quiet and they burn clean. Because Suzuki uses only chain and sprocket timing, the regular inspection and adjustments required by belt driven timing is eliminated, keeping maintenance cost at the lowest in the marketplace today. Suzuki also has the lowest warranty service rate in the business. If you’re looking for tried-and-true performance and quality, a Suzuki is for you.
Illowa Marine and Phowler Boat Company can equip your existing boat or your new Phowler hull with a top performing Suzuki Outboard that will last a lifetime.
Prodrive Outboard Motors
Introduced in 2003, after eight years of testing, the Pro-Drive is the most dependable shallow water outboard on the market today. Pro-Drive was the first air-cooled outboard to utilize a surface drive propeller and gear reduction, the Pro Drive is the most versatile shallow running outboard on the market. The Pro-Drive is the only shallow water outboard or "mudmotor" that is all gear driven (there are no belts to slip or belts to break in this motor) and the only shallow water outboard that offers Full Power Reverse, a reversing system that can be safely used in vegetation, mud, and stumps fields. With optional console steering, full hydraulic power trim and Automatic Full Power Reverse, the Pro-Drive is the most complete and powerful shallow water outboard on the market today. Built tough, the Pro-Drive Shallow Water Outboard runs in the heaviest vegetation and mud, and readily withstands shallow water impacts. Easy to operate, the Pro Drive handles like a tiller or console steer outboard motor. With the lowest warranty rate in the business, the Pro-Drive is an investment you’ll never regret.
