Marine Boats Industry to reduce Petroleum-Based Plastics in Outboard Motor Packaging
By Combining Biodegradable Green Planet™ Shipping Material With Specially Shaped Corrugated Cardboard, Evinrude, Honda, Mercury, Suzuki Tohatsu, Torqeedo, Yamaha Outboards Will Be Protected While Protecting The Environment.
Marine Outboard Motor SG announced today that outboard motors will soon arrive from Evinrude, Honda, Mercury, Suzuki Tohatsu, Torqeedo, Yamaha Motor Company in specialized packaging developed to significantly reduce overall waste and the use of petroleum-based plastics.
This will be achieved through two important changes: First, Outboard Motor is replacing traditional polystyrene foam packing material with Green Planet™, a biodegradable polymer developed by Kaneka Corporation that is easily decomposable in seawater and is made from 100-percent biomass-derived polymers.

If you're in search of lightweight portable power, the 52 lb. Suzuki 6hp outboard motor model DF6AS5 is an excellent choice for jon boats, skiffs, tenders and small to medium sized inflatables. The 6hp Suzuki engine with a 15 inch shaft offers the largest displacement of any one cylinder outboard in this hp and weight class. The 6hp Suzuki outboard motor shares many of the 4hp features with increased performance made possible by a larger carburetor. Additionally, the 6 hp Suzuki outboard models feature an external fuel tank connection as standard equipment allowing the user to easily connect an optional external fuel tank for longer range(fuel tank and fuel line/connector purchased separately). We offer Suzuki's newest 5-year manufacturer warranty.
