2015 Nissan 9.8 Hp NSF9.8A32 Outboard Motor

The NSF9.8A32 keeps the 9.8 HP, pull-start setup of its short-shaft sibling but moves to a longer shaft for boats needing extra reach to the water, pairing it with a propeller cut to a finer pitch for that running depth. Who this fits Choose this over the short-shaft version when your transom calls for the extra length; the engine underneath doesn't change, a carbureted twin with SOHC valves, thermostat-controlled cooling, and a saltwater rating, running a 2.08-to-1 gearbox. The propeller measures 8.5 inches across with 7.0 inches of pitch, slightly finer than the short-shaft model's prop, and starting stays strictly manual. Fuel and extras Running time depends on the 3.1-gallon external tank threaded to the motor by a quick-connect hose; there's no built-in alternator on this version, so charging gear is a separate accessory if needed. A manual, tool kit, and Nissan's 5-year warranty come with the purchase. This long-shaft version suits the same boats as its short-shaft sibling, just with a taller transom to reach, and the lighter, finer-pitch propeller trades a little top speed for smoother low-end response on a heavier load. Common questions Why the different propeller pitch? The long-shaft version pairs with a finer-pitch prop matched to its typical running depth. Is salt water use covered? Yes, this engine is rated for it.
