Suzuki 9.9 HP DF9.9BL Outboard Motor

The DF9.9BL is the manual-start version of Suzuki's 9.9 hp four-stroke, rigged with a 20-inch long shaft and tiller steering. Pull-rope starting means no battery or charging wiring to maintain, which keeps the package simple for a kicker motor or an auxiliary setup on a sailboat or a larger skiff. Who tends to choose the manual-start version Buyers who would rather skip an electrical system altogether, or who want a backup motor that cannot be sidelined by a dead battery, typically land on a pull-start model like this one. At 106.0000 pounds, it sits close in weight to the short-shaft electric-start version, since removing the starter and alternator largely offsets the longer shaft tube. Fit and running gear to check first Verify your transom calls for the 20-inch shaft before ordering. Throttle is built into the tiller grip, and shifting runs forward, neutral and reverse off a front-mounted lever. Corrosion resistance is built in throughout for saltwater duty, fuel delivery is electronic injection rather than a carburetor for steadier cold starts, and a 3-blade aluminum propeller handles the push. Does this version offer any backup starting method? No; starting is by pull rope only, with no electric option fitted. What ships inside the box? A 3.1-gallon fuel tank with line, an owner's manual, a tool kit and the propeller. Suzuki's three-year warranty applies to this motor.
