Yamaha 9.9HP High Thrust | T9.9LWHB

This Yamaha T9.9LWHB runs a tiller handle and offers both electric and manual starting, built on a 20-inch shaft. It is a high-thrust 9.9 hp two-cylinder four-stroke weighing 102 lbs, shipping with a dual-thrust aluminum prop, a fuel line and a safety lanyard included.

Who it suits

A flat battery will not strand you on the T9.9LWHB, since the manual pull-cord backup sits alongside the electric starter, which matters for boats that sit for weeks between outings on the water. The high-thrust lower unit favors pushing heavier hulls over chasing top speed.

Before you order

Twenty inches is the shaft length on this T9.9LWHB, so measure your transom before ordering this high-thrust configuration, and note that the dual-starter setup adds a little weight over an electric-only tiller version of the same gearcase.

Common questions
