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

Command Thrust: Unmatched power. Longer and featuring longer components, Mercury's Command Thrust gearcase is specifically designed to deliver the type of power, thrust, and control needed for wider and heavier boats.

The Command Thrust difference:
- A 20% larger propeller increases control, especially at low speeds.
- The longer gearcase immerses the propeller deeper under turbulent water. Result: improved performance.
- A low 2.42:1 gear ratio provides the thrust and maneuverability essential for heavy loads.
- An oversized anti-cavitation plate prevents air ingestion into the propeller, increasing efficiency.

Convenient and easy lifting: Lower the tiller handle to easily raise the outboard in any position, thanks to our exclusive ratcheting transom bracket.
