Mercury 9.9ELPT Command Thrust ProKicker

Drop the tiller for remote steering and you get this used 9.9ELPT Command Thrust ProKicker: the same 20-inch shaft and power tilt as the tiller ELHPT version, but controlled from a console rather than a handle at the motor.

Built for console-steered boats

Remote steering means the helm supplies its own throttle and steering controls; this motor mounts and tilts but doesn't steer from the motor itself, fitting boats already wired for a main engine's console controls rather than a tiller boat with nothing else installed.

Specs that carry over from the tiller version

Gearing stays at 2.08:1, dry weight sits at 84 lb, and power tilt moves through ratcheting positions rather than a plain manual lever, the same mechanical layout as the ELHPT model minus the tiller arm itself.

Condition and care

Being a used motor, ask about hours and service history before buying, since trolling motors in this class often rack up hours quietly while idling alongside a main engine. Feed it 87 octane gasoline with up to 10 percent ethanol, finished in Phantom Black, with fuel tank options of 3.2 or 6.6 gallons.

Common questions
