2020 Yamaha 9.9 HP T9.9XPHB Outboard Motor

This Yamaha T9.9XPHB is part of the high-thrust T9.9 line, a 9.9 hp four-stroke platform offered in 20-inch and 25-inch shaft lengths, with power-tilt versions marked by a "P" in the model code. The T9.9XPHB runs a 2.92 gear ratio, higher than the ratio used elsewhere in the 9.9 hp range, trading top speed for extra low-rpm thrust.

What is built in

Yamaha equips the T9.9XPHB with a labyrinth exhaust and a streamlined intake manifold on the induction side, sacrificial anodes and a cast aluminum alloy lower unit for corrosion resistance, and a wet-sump, CDI microcomputer ignition system. A built-in oil strainer and a freshwater flush port round out the convenience features, along with dual transom clamps for mounting security and a finishing-line protector on the drive shaft.

Exact shaft length and weight are not spelled out for this particular T9.9XPHB unit, so confirm those details with us before ordering. Tiller models on this platform use a steering friction lever rather than a console-mounted wheel, and power-tilt versions raise and lower electrically.
