Hey Christopher, thx for the video. I wanna ask you what was the purpose of you to buy a 9.9 hp rather than go with 6hp outboard. Speed, torque, emergency escape from storms..etc? I have a 3.3m inflatable boat with 9.9hp Mercury. Actually it is the same outboard with your Tohatsu. Sometimes i think why i didnt buy a 5 or 6hp. Because this one is 38kg and 12kg fuel tank totally 50kg weight :) And with myself i only use the half power of 9.9hp. Maybe you can explain the difference of their performances, power or other stuffs to understand my choice was OK or not. Thanks a lot.

@neanderthalboneflute65194 жыл бұрын
Christopher Flannigan it performs really well when the boat is balanced out. One thing to check though; I’ve been getting saltwater splashing inside the rear of the cowling. When I get it home and flush the motor I find dried salt deposits splashed on and around the fuel pump and rear of the engine. I’ve checked the seals and cowling clasp, they’re good. I’m going to ask the dealer. Other than that, good motor.

is it difficult to maneuver 9.8? electric start is 88lb dry weight? Im considering upgrading my 6hp to 9.8, I'd love to have electric start but I'm afraid its a little to heavy to carry around 90-92lb with oils.

Thanks for the detailed video. It motivated me to get the same one. I just think it is a bit too heavy after all. Anyhow, have you transported it laying down on its side without removing the oil, is that ok to do? I keep my boat uninflated and did not know I could not transport it like the 6hp. Any tip would be appreciated. Thanks.
