9.9 EFI

[JustFishin.....]

Anyone running anew 9.9 kicker with EFI? Wondering with remote controls if they troll down to speed accurate enough to not need a control king or smart troll?

 

Thanks

I have a 9.9 Suzuki EFI I haven’t had any speed control issues with it so far.

That’s great information. How much control do you have with your speed. Can you adjust your speed within .1 or.2 mph?

i can adjust to .1/.15 mph but  do have a pretty big boat. mines a 2452 bay liner hard top. top speed with kicker is 7.5 mph.

im guessing I can adjust about 50/75 rpm increments.  im thinking of maybe getting a smart troll this winter just for the hunt mode option.

Looks like online outboards has a pretty solid deal on them right now. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get yours?

I ordered a 9.8 tohatsu from online outboards this spring.... nice and easy way to buy a motor.

I have a 15hp EFI Mercury Pro kicker waiting for me at Cabelas.  If the 9.9 was EFI, I might have gone that path.  However, the 15 puts out twice the amperage.  I've been told by others that it will get me down under 1.0, but at that speed, I'll probably use my Ulterra and save the kicker for cranks when I'm running higher speeds.
