2020 Yamaha 9.9 HP T9.9XPB Outboard Motor

Stretching beyond the common shaft length used elsewhere in the 9.9 hp range, the 2020 Yamaha T9.9XPB runs on a 25-inch shaft, steered through a console cable with a key-turn starter, and weighs 108 lbs. Who it suits Boats with a taller transom than most small craft are the target for the T9.9XPB, since 25 inches reaches further down than the shorter shafts Yamaha offers on this platform; think larger pontoons, houseboats or sailboats running this as an auxiliary or kicker. Remote mechanical steering assumes a console already wired for cable steering and electric start. Before you order Measure your transom for the T9.9XPB before ordering; it needs the full 25 inches to sit correctly. Its carbureted 212cc powerhead is the same engine Yamaha uses throughout the 9.9 hp high-thrust line, and this unit ships new from Yamaha with full factory coverage starting at the purchase date. Common questions Is this a tiller-steered motor? No, the T9.9XPB steers through a remote mechanical cable setup. Is there a factory warranty? Yes, 3 years on the T9.9XPB, since it is sold new. Why choose the longer 25-inch shaft? It is built for boats with a taller transom than most small craft. Is the T9.9XPB a good fit for a houseboat? Its longer shaft and high-thrust gearcase suit a heavier, slower hull well.
