JustFishin..... Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 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?

Fishnut Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have a 9.9 Suzuki EFI I haven’t had any speed control issues with it so far. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie UnitedSorry forgot the year it’s a 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustFishin..... Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 That’s great information. How much control do you have with your speed. Can you adjust your speed within .1 or.2 mph?Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishnut Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustFishin..... Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 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?Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diversion Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I ordered a 9.8 tohatsu from online outboards this spring.... nice and easy way to buy a motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW66 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 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.
