Mercury’s 8-9.9 hp FourStrokes are still the lightest in their class, but being lightweight doesn’t mean cutting corners. Our 8-9.9 hp FourStrokes feature a convenient multifunction tiller handle that provides easy one-hand shifting operation. Furthermore, these outboards come equipped with our exclusive automatic reverse hooks that don’t require you to change a clumsy lever manually to hold the engine in place while reversing. Thanks to the Mercury multifunction tiller handle, standard on 8 - 9.9 hp tiller handle FourStroke models, you have the boat control needed to fish all day with ease. This revolutionary, all-in-one handle design delivers one-handed operation for shifting, stopping, throttle control, tilting and steering. Giving you unrivaled manoeuvrability and making your time on the water easier and more enjoyable. The 8 - 9.9 hp Mercury FourStrokes feature an ingenious design that allows the boater to use the longer, sturdy tiller handle to gain leverage on the outboard and engage our exclusive 3-position ratcheting trim system. By pushing down on the tiller handle you can
set the trim position. Simply, easily, every time.
