2015 Nissan 9.8 Hp NSF9.8A3EP2 Outboard Motor

Steering moves off the motor entirely on the NSF9.8A3EP2, run instead through a remote control box, so this 9.8 HP engine suits boats with a console setup rather than a tiller handle at the transom.

What to check before buying

Because this is a remote-control engine, confirm your boat already has, or can be fitted with, a side-mount control box and matching cables before ordering; gear changes also route through that box rather than a lever on the motor itself. Underneath is the familiar twin-cylinder, SOHC engine with carburetor fuel delivery, thermostat-controlled cooling, a saltwater rating, and a built-in 80-watt alternator for the electric starter. Trim and tilt stay manual on this one, turning an 8.5-inch, 3-blade propeller.

What's included

The package bundles an external 3.1-gallon fuel tank and line, the side-mount control box itself with throttle and shift cables, and a printed owner's manual and tool kit. Boats already wired for remote-mount engines are the easiest fit, since the console hardware and cable routing carry over from whatever was there before.

Common questions

Is there a tiller handle on this one? No, steering and gear changes run through the included control box and cables instead.

Will my boat's existing rigging fit it? Confirm cable length and control box fitment with us first, since boat setups vary.
