The 25 hp (18.4kW) model was the first Suzuki 4-stroke outboard to feature a V-Twin powerhead. The 70º v-bank angle is wide enough to minimize vibration without the use of a counterbalance system, and narrow enough to provide a compact profile on the transom.
The V-twin layout also moves the centre of gravity forward, compared to an inline powerhead. This allows for better balance on the transom, and makes the engine easier to tilt. Since engines in this category typically are tilted by hand, a little bit of help is a big advantage.
