1998 Mariner 9.9Hp Short Shaft $750Obo

[gotmuddy]

I am selling my beloved mariner 9.9 because I want to upgrade to a four stroke. I found a deal on a four stroke so I need to sell my two stroke. this motor has always been good to me, never left me stranded. It comes with a brand new 8 pitch prop and currently has a 9 pitch prop on it. I even have MO titles(bought it in thayer, mo). motor was never a rental and for the past 3 years it was used by me.

I want to upgrade to a four stroke.

Now there's a bit of a contradiction

That will make someone a fine little outboard.

I want the quiet and fuel efficiency. I found a great deal on a '09 merc, still has 3 years warranty left.

Is that a jet foot next to the motor?

Why? I'd much prefer a 2-stroke to my 4.

yes, it is for my 25hp merc. I opted to run a prop when we went to the coast.

I want a 4 stroke for the quiet and fuel efficiency. that and the fact that now that the white river has a national designation it is only a matter of time until they force two strokes off the river.

Never. That's a buncha false flag marketing BS

Can't argue with the "quiet" advantage, but the fuel difference throughout a typical day of fishing could be held in your coffee cup.

Just in talking to folks I know that run the 4 strokes day in and day out on the White guiding, they sure believe they are using a lot less gas with the four strokes. At WOT, there is almost no difference, but at low RPM's the 4 stroke offer advantages I think.

After paying for repairs on a 4-stroke I would prefer a 2-stroke that costs a lot less to fix.

the motor has 3 years warranty on the powerhead.

Honestly I dont see how the 4 stroke can use much less fuel than the 2, I have never came close to burning 3 gal in a day. I am not real concerned if it sells, I am plenty happy with this motor.
