Mercury 9.9HP 9.9EXLHPT ProKicker EFI Outboard

This listing is Mercury's 9.9 HP ProKicker, offered under the EXLHPT designation. ProKicker models are built as auxiliary or trolling motors: a second outboard mounted alongside a larger main engine to hold trolling speed, add a backup, or give the primary motor a rest.

What this configuration is for

Because this unit carries an EXLHPT tag, it specifies a particular shaft length, start type, and control layout within Mercury's 9.9 HP ProKicker range; confirm the exact shaft length, starting method, and control type against the spec table printed on this page before you order, since that table is the accurate source for this unit, not any general description.

Choosing and fitting a kicker motor

A kicker this size needs its own mounting bracket, independent fuel supply or shared tank setup, and enough transom width next to the main engine. Buyers typically size a 9.9 HP kicker to a boat where trolling speed, fuel economy at low RPM, or engine-hour savings on the primary motor matter more than top speed. Control type matters too: a tiller-handled kicker is steered at the motor, while a remote-controlled one ties into the helm, and that choice should be confirmed on the spec table rather than guessed from the model tag.

Common questions

Is this the same as the standard 9.9 HP outboard? No. ProKicker models add features aimed at auxiliary and trolling use rather than being the primary motor.

Is it new? Yes, this unit is sold new.

Where do I find the exact shaft length and control type? On the spec table for this listing, which should be treated as authoritative over any general description.
