Re: 1984 Mercury 9.8

Anything in particular you are looking for. I can tell you the motor you have now weighs 65# if it's a Manual start, 70# if electric start. Both are rated 9.8 HP at the propshaft. I don't know anything about the gear ratios or props available for either unit, but I'm sure someone else here does. What else would you like to know?

Re: 1984 Mercury 9.8

Who makes what on the new mercury 9.9s. I have heard that yamaha makes the powerheads and merc the lower unit. Also I was wondering why Mercury didnt make the 9.9 with loop charged istead of cross flow,I have heard that loop charged is better.<br /><br />and i was wondering how many CCs a 1984 Merc 9.9 has.
