Im a first time boater and the other day a gentalman helped me back my trailer up couse i never did it before. Good people still out thier

9.9s are great motors, enough power for what you need but also manageable to carry.

Thanks for the video. I can relate. I have a 2009 9.9 hp 4 stroke and have been experimenting with the same tilt adjusments for improving speed and handling. I added a jackplate to bring the cavitation plate even to the keel this improved the speed from 12 mph to 19 mph at 5500 rpm wide open throttle with the 8.5 prop. I find for my boat the best tilt is #2 ( V-hull 14 foot aluminum ) Using non-ethanol gas also prevents carburetor from gumming up and causing starting and running problems. Letting the motor run out of gas by removing the fuel line from the motor and letting it run until it stalls at the end of the day also prevents problems that other posters have been mentioning. When I start the motor with choke pulled out I push it in almost immediately the engine goes to 900 rpm idle speed ( recommended Idle speed ) Smooth. Keep up the nice videos . I am 72yrs. old and love the friendliness at the boat ramp among other sportsmen.

Your videos are top notch! Keep punping em out!

Bud I found your channel last night and I just love your attitude. You've got a new fan, hope you're still actively making videos.

Thank you for your video. I just got my first boat with a 2016 9.9 merc. It’s a 10’ rhib. Taking kids out for first run tomorrow. I was told I should be able to pull a skier if the BOat is not loaded. Not planning to ski but maybe get some tow tubes next summer. Excited. Your video is keeping me up late thinking about boating.

Man, that's great, didn't think a 9.9 would do it. Thanks for sharing.

I have the same motor but only get 8.5 mph on a 1650 Jon boat, with no modifications.

„lets get crazy, i‘ll put it on 3“ 😂👌

All I did was heard the beginning of this video and sub cause you keeping it real 😂😂😂

I have a 2006 Nissan 9.9 hp 4 stroke and it has my mini rig way up from the rig u running. I have aluminum decking for the deck. It makes a difference from wood. I love the channel just started following along.

Good video my man! I have a 12 footer so this was great info. Thanks yo!

Just great editing and fun to watch. I’m not even in to motors and speed and all that but I watched anyway. Thanks man.

Hey man, nice job but to tilt your motor up you can just turn it in the forward position and that will pull that lever up, that you pulled up with your hand makes it a lot easier just make sure your motor is shut off 😊

Great video thank you👍

If you just put the motor in fwrd with the tiller handle the motor will tilt without risking smashing your fingers even with the motor off or running

Awesome💚 thanks kindly 🤙😎👍

Awesome video

What fuel connector do you use on your 9.9 I have gone through multiple already and the O ring only lasts several uses

I have a mercury 9.9 2021 on a 12'-56" I'm in (2) but also on the 2nd click up best for me..

Nice test. Surprised at 3 being quickest or no ?!? Watching from Ontario Canada

That’s a beautiful looking lake.

Thanks a lot! I just bought a 2021 midel, 12 foot Lowe johnboat yesterday and it is equipped with a 2021 mercury 9.9, so this video was very helpful as I prepare to put it into the water for the first time tomorrow. Thanks!

I have the same motor and you taught me a better way to lift the motor rather than putting it in gear by just lifting that lever. I'm going to try that next time. Thank you sir.

Hey man nice video do you know the weight boat around "cc"

5:55 💨💨💨 I BLOW... THE WIND OF GAWD 🤣🤣

hi, can you tell me what the knob that can be turned before the accelerator is for?

Very helpful I just got a 9.9

Looking to get a 12 foot welded jon boat with a merc 9.9. Been watching some video of the same or similar setup. Guys are getting around 20-21mph with one or two people bare boat just boat, motor and gas tank. That’s all I’m really looking for just something to run bayous and small rivers with.

That snippet of the dude blowing the camera down came from left field lol

You can raise and lower it with the accellorater shaft

Awesome video!! Is that lake tugaloo? If so my PB came out of there

Just put a 2020 15HP 4 stroke EFI on my 14’ J boat and it runs 24 MPH with or without a load... I’m thinking I could probably give up a little torque for a few more MPH with a steeper pitch prop. though. It’s not a speed boat, but ya know... still fun to tweek it out for max performance.

I have a 1996 9.9 kicker merc and the thing runs like a brand new motor

to unlock your engine and tilt it just put it in forward gear. no need to reach down in the water to unlock it. mercury has been that way for many years

I notice there’s an audible rattle sound which can be heard around the mid throttle range. My brand new 20 hp also has this and I’m kind of worried. Anyone else experience this? If so, have you figured out what’s causing it?

That camera quality though..... 🔥😳

I have a q4ft smoker craft deep v. Do you think a 9.9 outboard will be good. I don't care too much for speed.

Nice video and boat! I have a 14' aluminum sylvan with a 1998 evinrude 9.9hp and my boat fully gutted with no batteries or fishing tackle gets 23.5 mph. its crazy.

I have the same Mercury 9.9hp engine from 2017. A 450 kg boat reaches a maximum speed of 14 km / h. Can the engine be blocked at the factory because the engine's max revs are 4500 n / nin. F8.5 screw. Now I have mounted the charging and starter, spring tests with the towing screw.

Not bad at all for a nine. Nine good simple easy and thrifty rig bye from Stavros in Florida

My 20 year old Johnson 9.9 does 31kmh on my 3.6m v nose punt

Great video! On my 12' V hull aluminum, i get 30kph (19mph) and it's not rigged out. Definitely fast enough for me. Cheers! 🚤🎣

I'm leaning towards a Grizzly 1448 and the Mercury 9.9 will be perfect for running the river and lakes, mph and what 25 mpgs?

The 9.9 Merc 4 cycles have an accelerator pump, and each twist of the throttle floods the engine with a shot of gasoline. Don't flood the engine, with or without the engine running.

You connect mercury motor and Humminbird with NMEA 2000?

I would like to know what a 9.9hp does on a 16foot boat. Speedboat style. 1979 Silverline. HP restrictions in my area

What does the red button in end of throttle do ? Thanks !

hi this kevin i have Mercury 8.0 deck out like yours whats good not 3 or 2 try both i like the boat wrap

9.9 and on the fly jackplates is where it's at on the smaller flat bottoms

Lifejacket and Kill Switch? Cool video!

How much was your motor

How much does your boat weigh? Mines a little smaller at 14 ft but this motor seems perfect

Do you know what pich prop you are running. I have the same boat and motor with a 9. Was thinking of going a little higher

I have that same boat size wise. And I wanted to know how a 9.9 would push it. It really moves along and mine is not loaded like yours. I can buy that motor for 1000.00 less overseas with free shipping. Why are they that much more in the US?

Thanks for the video. To anyone reading this.... I have a 2021 Merc 9.9. I was reading that the merc 9.9 isnt a Merc 9.9 but a Tohatsu 9.8 re labeled. Which means a completely different motor than the 15 and 20. Is this correct?? Or like my old 2018 suzuki, is it just a de tuned 15-20 motor. If it is I want to put the 20 carb and prop on it. If infact it is just the Tohatsu 9.8 it probably wont take the fuel from the 20 carb, mabee flood it. Does anyone know the answers to my ideas? Thanks!!

If you want some more speed take out the rubber intake restriction thats in the cover by the handle inside.Big difference!

this motor and Honda 20HP is very different in terms of speed? I have this motor and considering to buy the Honda 20HP but I want a real and big difference in terms of performance. Please advice me. THank you...

Its impossible for me to lift my 25 hp 4 stroke in the boat cause its just too dang heavy

I have the same merc 9.9 (new) and it seems to stall when I push in the choke after starting it cold. Dealer says to rev it some before I push in the choke. Do you have to do the same? The manual doesnt mention anything about reving the engine before pushing in the choke.

Next size down prop in pitch would help alot

Just bought the same engine brand new as well. However upon my speed test if only reaches 10km/hr (not miles). Would you have any idea as to why that is? I assume since it’s a new engine it takes a few usages for the engine to loosen and be at its full potential, however please let me know if there is any other reason as to why that is

Hey mate, great video. Is that miles per hour or knots? Also would you know how high you cavitation plate is from hull bottom. I just bought on of these for a small boat. Having trouble getting past 7 to 8 knots.

Should I get this outboard for a 2020 tracker 1436?

Nice John boat we are new here we are show some love to your channel

nice speeds, what prop are you running?

You can turn the throttle to the Forward position and the motor will tilt without having to hold that lever up. Good video. Love my 9.9 Merc.

I am planning to buy my first motor for my 1448 Jon boat that is decked out with a big deck can hold my rods

3) trim 16 mph 💜

do you think the mercury 9.9 will plane a tracker 1648?

How does this engine perform against a old 2 stroke 9.9hp? Acceleration?

How would that do on a 14’ Avalon mini pontoon?

What size prop do you have on your boat?

That's a good words....

Do u wish u had put a 15 are 20 on it if u had it to do agin

The elevation of the water is the same at one end of the lake as the other since water seeks its own level

Yes leave it in the 3 setting for it was running sooooo smoooooth and laboring and not bad at 15.8 with your weight of that flat bottom johnny boat !!!

I wonder what a cavatation plate and a Command Thrust lower would do for speed?

That little tohatsu run pretty good!

I bought a brand new 15 hp, and it sank the same day. I recovered it luckily but man the boat was about to capsize from another boaters wake. To bad I didn’t get their bow number. Idiots driving boats these days.

thats exactly why i dont watch the damn news either man , i dont mess with things that are negative

i got an empty 12' jon with a new 9.9, you think ill get 20 mph??

I know it’s been a year ago according to ur video... is the motor a long shaft? Short shaft? If it a long try adding a jack plate to ur transom to in crease the height of the motor to where the cavitation plate is about 1” below the bottom of the transom ... I did that to my boat and now it’s a speed boat ..lol

is the water only 1.7 feet deep in the middle?

I luv 9.9. Never been interested in those 50 billion hp, $90 trillion dollar rigs!

Im going to check out the trim on my boat too. Maybe the one setting (trim) isn't as good as i thought. Thanks for sharing this.

What max RPM are you getting?

👍👍👍👍👍

Have you modified the motor to get that kind of speed?????

Hi, Anyone who compared this Mercury 9.9 and Suzuki 9.9? I've a Suzuki 9.9 （2 stroke） which has super low vibration in high speed, and I'm thinking of buying another Mercury 9.9

I feel like me and this dude could be friends.

The Kenneth Copeland COVID blow was unexpected but funny

how much is that motor cost?

Yeah your heavy with just you and an empty boat you would be well over 20 knots! It would be interesting to weigh your boat!

You can make your 9.9 into a 15 by just ordering a oem 15hp carb and swapping it for yours

Bro. This one got the suscritchen.

Excellent video. Firstly check the motor height with a straight edge to the cav. Plate and bottom. Once that is optimum then get one of those cheap portable tachos. Check that the engine is up the top of it's recommended rev. range or select an appropriate prop. You will be amazed. Small boats rarely have the correct prop.

I'd have atleast a 25 on that rig...I'd prolly go over recommend hp ratings and run a 50 if I could find a good used one

Can it charge a battery?

There is some good in this world but getting smaller each day. A good sportsman helps others.
