Details & Inspection Notes

At 9.9 hp, this used Mercury 9.9MLH FourStroke runs a standard gearcase on a 20 inch shaft, with manual tiller starting and a carbureted fuel system.

Specifications worth knowing

The gearcase ratio comes in at 2.08:1, full throttle sits between 5000 and 6000 rpm, and the alternator is rated 6 amps (76 watts) for topping up a battery while running. Remote fuel tank capacity is listed at 3.2 gallons (12 liters).

What to check before buying

Measure your transom for the 20 inch shaft before you buy; steering is tiller only on this unit, with no remote-control option offered. Ignition is CDI with electronic spark advance, and the cooling system is water-cooled with a thermostat.

Who it suits

A straightforward tiller motor for aluminum, inflatable, utility, jon, and sailboats that do not call for remote steering or a heavy-duty low-speed gearcase.

Condition notes

Dry weight is listed at 84 lbs, with manual ratcheting trim and a through-prop exhaust. Since this is a used unit, ask us about hours and service history, as wear varies boat to boat.
