Hi all, How is the quality of these tohatsu 9.9 outboards. I see on the website "onlineoutboards.com" that the 9.9 has all of the same features as the 8 hp but extras like a bigger prop etc. Does the 8 and 9.9 put out the same power?

Re: tohatsu 9.9 question

Both 4 strokes 8 & 9.8 have 209 CC, 8 HP is restricted, and it's a 9.8 not 9.9. On 2 strokes you have 9.8 with 170 CC and 9.9 with 250 CC, are different beasts.

Happy Boating

Re: tohatsu 9.9 question

Right. What is the model you are asking about?

The 8/9.8 2-strokes (NLA in North America) are in one block/frame family, and the 8/9.8 4-strokes are in another, completely different family. Merc will call the newer 9.8 4-stroke a 9.9, BTW.

The "real" Tohatsu 9.9, whether a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke, is the "little sister" of the 9.9/15 family, and has nothing (mechanically) in common with any Tohatsu 8, except that they came out of the same factory.
