2015 Nissan 9.8 Hp NSF9.8A3EFT2 Outboard Motor (Power Tilt)

Power tilt sets the NSF9.8A3EFT2 apart from the rest of Nissan's 9.8 HP range, raising and lowering the motor with a switch instead of a hand lever, and it's paired here with electric start, a long shaft, and tiller steering. What sets this one apart That powered tilt system adds enough bulk to make this the heaviest motor in the 9.8 HP class, a tradeoff most boaters accept for not having to crank a lever by hand, especially on heavier hulls. The propeller changes too: four blades in a high-thrust pattern take the place of the standard 3-blade design, measuring 8.7 inches across with 7.0 inches of pitch. Engine, fuel, and extras The engine is the shared twin-cylinder, SOHC design with carburetor fuel delivery and an 80-watt alternator built in to feed the electric starter. Between fill-ups you get 3.1 gallons from the external tank, which connects to the motor by a quick-connect hose. A manual and tool kit are included, and Nissan's 5-year warranty applies. This is the trim level most worth the extra cost for anyone who tilts the motor up and down several times a day. Common questions What does power tilt add over a manual lever? It lets you raise or lower the motor at the flip of a switch. Why a 4-blade propeller here? It's a high-thrust design matched to this trim level for pushing power over top speed.
