Enhanced features:
Mercury FourStroke 8 and 9.9 hp outboards include:
- A new three-position starter with no choke button, for improved starting, simplified starting procedure, and faster engine preheat.
- A richer air/fuel mixture at idle for easier starting and better idle performance (models with tiller).
- Modified ignition timing to help anglers find and maintain an optimal trolling speed.

Command Thrust: Unmatched power. Longer and with longer components, Mercury’s Command Thrust lower unit is specifically designed to provide the power, push, and control needed for wider, heavier boats.

The Command Thrust difference:
- A 20% larger propeller increases control, especially at low speeds.
- The longer lower unit positions the propeller lower in turbulent water, improving performance.
- A lower gear ratio of 2.42:1 delivers the necessary push and maneuverability for heavy loads.
- Oversized anti-cavitation plate prevents air intake into the propeller, increasing efficiency.

Practical and easy lift: Lower the tiller to raise the outboard easily in any position thanks to our exclusive rear bracket with ratchets.
