Mercury 9.9EXLPT Command Thrust ProKicker FourStroke

This used 9.9EXLPT Command Thrust ProKicker FourStroke keeps the carbureted engine rather than the larger EFI block, paired with an extra-long shaft, remote steering, and power tilt on this particular unit, sold here with whatever hours the previous owner put on it.

Remote steering, extra-long shaft

No tiller handle here; steering controls are sold separately, so this fits consoles already wired for a main engine's controls rather than boats run by hand at the motor itself. The extra-long shaft is built for taller transoms than the standard-length ProKickers use, which matters most on sailboats and similar hulls.

Specifics worth knowing

This configuration, per Mercury's own figures, weighs the least of anything in its category, running a 2.08:1 gearcase with power tilt through ratcheting positions. Pick between a smaller 3.2-gallon tank and a larger 6.6-gallon tank based on how far from the dock you typically run.

Buying used

Confirm hours and service history before buying, since condition varies motor to motor on used outboards more than it would on anything sold new from a dealer. Keep it running on 87 octane gas with up to 10 percent ethanol and Mercury FourStroke 10W-30 oil for the crankcase.
