Mercury 9.9EH 9.9HP FourStroke Tiller
The Mercury 9.9EH is a high-performance 9.9HP FourStroke outboard engineered for maximum thrust and electric starting in the US recreational boating sector. Boasting a refined 208cc inline 2-cylinder SOHC architecture and weighing 91 lbs, it provides an power-to-weight ratio for aluminum fishing boats and inflatable tenders. This 15-inch short shaft model features a multi-function tiller and electric start, making it the premier choice for boaters who demand reliable marine outboard solutions with superior ease of use. Our marine engines provide the mechanical integrity needed for all-day fishing excursions.
Operational peak performance for the Mercury 9.9HP is maintained between 5000 and 6000 RPM. The 2.08:1 gear ratio provides a distinct mechanical advantage, translating the 208cc torque curve into rapid hole-shot acceleration and steady hull planing. Manufactured in the USA, this corrosion-resistant motor features CDI ignition with Electronic Spark Advance to helps support a reliable start and quiet operation during coastal and inland navigation in the American maritime environment.
High-Output 208cc Powerhead
The 208cc powerhead is tuned to deliver a potent 9.9 horsepower, providing the strong low-end grunt required to push heavily loaded skiffs and RIBs onto plane quickly. The twin-cylinder design helps support that this power is delivered smoothly, minimizing vibration at both idling and full-throttle speeds for a more comfortable American boating experience.
Electric Start Convenience
Equipped with an integrated electric start system, the 9.9EH eliminates the physical effort of pull-starting, making it a favorite for families and recreational anglers. The included 6 Amp alternator helps support your starting battery remains topped off even when running depth finders or navigation lights, providing peace of mind during long days on the water.
15-Inch Short Shaft Versatility
The 15-inch short shaft is purposefully designed for low-transom vessels and high-speed skiffs. Its hydrodynamic profile helps support the propeller maintains a solid bite in the water while remaining easy to lift and stow, providing a practical convenient power source for performance inflatable tenders and aluminum bay boats.
