2020 Mercury 9.9 Top Speed Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Decided to do another "Top Speed" video with my Mercury 9.9, the whole idea was for a purchase of a lithium battery. Would I gain RPM's? Speed? etc. Well the results are not what you would think!!

You do a great job with your videos. At 13.33 into this one when your thinking and leave the video on, I cracked up. It's those little things that make your videos different than all the others. Your sound is always of exceptional quality. And you don't blow our eardrums out with loud intro music. Keep them coming. You should have way more subs. They will eventually show up.
Thanks Doug, I appreciate the feedback and support!
Thank you for the video 🤙🏾
Great videos. I run a big AGM battery and a led acid battery on my Tin boat but on my Old town AP120 kayak I use a Dakota lithium 100 amp hour battery . I really like the lithium batteries but you just can’t justify the cost in the boat.
This is THEE BEST 9.9 outboard channel on RUclips period.
Thanks my man!!!
Thanks for sharing bud. Good video.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome!! Great video my brother! Really would have liked to see you pick up the trash on video!! Could have used a small 12v game cam battery to keep electronics running for the test. A different prop is about the only thing you can change without getting real serious, but as always you lose something. Speed vs Hole Shot. If you seriously want more speed, you really need to gut the boat and go back with much lighter material, aluminum vs wood. What is your top speed on just the trolling motor? You should do some electric only tournaments. Some real sticks in them though. I fish one, some smaller water, but fun. Got an open memorial tournament for Alan Spencer who passed last year on Chickahominy Lake June 5th, you can use the gas for that one. Come on up and join us. Be a fun time!!
Oh I got that monster can that was floating, prolly still in my boat!! 🤪
Great review. 👍
I just bought a 9.9 Mercury outboard boat motor for my V14 Alumacraft. I always go out fully loaded as well. Looking forward to going out fishing.
Go with the lithium batteries, ditch what you don't need. Only load the boat with what you need and reprop the motor. 9.9 hp motors come with a prop that's set up for high thrust low speed for pushing larger boats around. They are set up to be trolling motors for larger boats.
a higher pitch prop will give you more speed but it won't get out of the hole very good , my 40 came with a 14 pitch but i put a 16 pitch SS prop on and went faster but took a little longer to get on top the water
I had problems with fuel starvation on my 8 hp mercury 4 stroke it turned out the grey fuel line inner core was disintegrating due to ethanol in the fuel.
The 9.9 Merc 4 cycles have an accelerator pump, and each twist of the throttle floods the engine with a shot of gasoline. Don't flood the engine, with or without the engine running.
I have the same motor on a Princecraft Ungava 12 ft.. i was getting just over 16mph then put on a CMC-35 power tilt.. getsup to 20
Mph
Whaaaa? Fo real?
Damm that's crazy I understand all the weight so ik it slows it down alottt but I got 12ft with 6hp and push me 16-17 mph I trying save this morning for my 12ft
Would love to put a 9.9 on my 12 alumacraft build have vids on RUclips with a 2.5. Gets 5 mph but that’s my kayak motor
Got a 4 blade prop coming for my mercury 25 hp I’ll post update vids but if u can get one may help I’ll let ya know
Hi there, good video. May I ask the model of your boat? like length?
Alumacraft 16x48 thanks!
How about one deep cycle battery that's what I had before my 18 ft bass boat and it ran everything including an electric anchor I had my Jon boat the works even a boat radio for when the fish wasn't biting and it was tattaly amazing little 4 hp motor and trolling motor
I’ve done the same, trolling motor, 2 garmin units, livescope, radio, led lights etc.
I can tell by the the sound you need to take 1-2inch of pitch of the motor as it isn’t even in the bottom of the RPM range that it needs to be! Get the RPM up to where it makes HP 💯👍🏼👌🏼
That motor is gone now, time to tweak on my 25hp👍🏼
@@DudeLetsFish Get the rpm on your new motor to where it needs to be and you will always be happier! Always prop on the high side (higher RPM) as boats only ever get heavier 💯👍🏼👌🏼🇦🇺
My 14 ft deep v all welded is heavy with a 25 hp but like a 10 pitch best will soon have a 4 blade 10 pitch
Honestly in John boats I don’t see the difference. John boats are suppose to be budget boats you feel me. But this video is awesome with the info keep it up man
Exactly and thank you 🙏
Not gonna lie, I miss you saying catch you on OF. Like how am I going to know when you drop content over there anymore? Lol
OF? “Catch you on the Flip Flop?
The Suzuki 9.9 can be bumped up to 20hp for another 425$. Can you do the same with the merc? Then you can put as many batterys you want. I got the Suzuki 9.9 gonna test / break it in. This weekend. And yes weight transfer and the trim. Your on the right track. Check out Suzuki!
I know I can get it up to a 15hp
I had to pause the video to ask a question. Why did u get rid of the Hummingbird and go with Garmin? I'm trying to figure out how to set up my boat that I bought about 3 weeks ago. My first boat ever. I'm pumped but overwhelmed with all the accessories that (can be) added.
The humminbird actually wasn’t mine, and it was an older unit. I moved the garmin to the back and will eventually network them, livescope up front full time.
@@DudeLetsFish I had to pause again. Will finish it later tonight. But you still ain't right. 🤣
Haha thanks man!!
You mentioned putting the batteries in the front, i had a 5 honda on my 16ft lund, yes i know too small. I had my huge deep cycle and car battery and gas tank in the back and the front of boat was a bit higher and not moving good. I put both batteries and tank in the front and it was flying at 7mph i didn,t check before i moved the weight but the boat was perfectly level and that made all the difference, just traded the 5 for a 9.9 yesterday, brand new i,ll get back here after its broke in and i,ll let u guys know what the top speed is with the 9 9. Comparison. UPDATE. Hey i broke in the 9.9 and for anybody who is thinking of this upgrade the 9.9 went 2 times as fast just flying at that speed, 14mph, not fast enough for me next step im going to upgrade prop from 4 blade 9.25 x 7 to a higher pitch with a 3 blade, stay tuned for the outcome
Awesome!! Let us know!
Do you know what RPM your motor is at? I added a lot of weight to my boat too, I bought a tach, super easy to install. I found out my RPM was low so I bought the 8.9x7.5 prop and it increased my speed.
I don’t, where did you get your tach and prop?
@@DudeLetsFish Amazon. Engine runs best at 5000-6000 rpm, closer to 6000 is better. The added weight lowered your rpms, going to a prop with less pitch like the 8.9x7.5 will bring your performance back up.
I have the same engine the whole set weighs 450 kg and the maximum speed is 15 km / h i.e. 9 miles per hour
Science!
Yes!! It’s Science!!! 🤓
What pitch prop? You should buy a mini digital tach so you know your WOT RPM's.
I need to, It’s the stock prop
@@DudeLetsFish buy the Sierra mini tach/hour meter. It's no frills but it has a (no questions asked) lifetime warranty as long as you keep the receipt. I just got my 2nd one in the mail when the 1st one broke 2 years later.
Theoretically the further the weight is back the faster it will go. More back weight=less boat in the water=less drag=more speed
Makes sense
@@DudeLetsFish i don,t want to argue but nothing could be further from the truth, i know i did it both ways. The other day i watched a boat moving down the river, 3 people all in the back of the boat which i thought was strange. The front of the boat was up in the air and not moving very fast and i could hear that the motor was at full throttle. The middle of the boat was pushing the water in front of it and the rear of the boat dragging in the water, both creating great resistance reducing speed and fuel milage greatly. The bottom of the boat pushing the water is creating a greater amount of drag compared to it being completely level with the water and in the water gliding over it with very very little resistance. Always distribute the weight in the boat side to side and front to back so that when on full plane the boat will be completely level. Equals best speed and best gas milage.
Id love a lithium. But ugh so expensive haha
Yeah, not worth it to gain 1mph
@@DudeLetsFish throw a 2 hunnit merc on her you wont 😂
@@noahdboss1195 that a dare?? 😶
@@DudeLetsFish 🥴 triple dog dare
Does this motor has reverse?
Yes
I have a 1650 Jon boat and a new Mercury 9.9, I only get about 7 mph😢
😮
Yeah a higher pitch prop really should be faster for not that much money ❗️
I’m ordering one
What App do you have for your mph ? Is it a free App ?
Yes it was a free app, forgot what it was called
I use "Speedo-meter" and it's free.
20 hp or 25 would be perfect for your boat
Oh ya, maybe put some 9.9 stickers on it... 🤔
@@DudeLetsFish that might would work unless they checked the serial numbers 🤫
@@DudeLetsFish 15hp is the same size and weight as a 9.9 fyi
Pretty interesting... I can get 17 with my 1998 Merc 2 stroke on my old 87 Fisher Hawk 3v which is about 15.5 ft. More of a v hull than you boat.
Oh hell yeah
Bro, leave the batteries in and put a Merc 150 in the back. You WILL BE HAPPY!!!
I might have something new coming up… stay tuned
I'd stay with the batteries you have
Oh ya, now if I would have gained 5mph I would think about the lithium’s but 1mph... Na
@@DudeLetsFish I probably wouldn't even for 5 mph but that's me
@@DudeLetsFish when I get on these Alabama 2 pound slabs I'd send you some pictures some how
Save your money more beer
Exactly!!!!!
Just call your motor little buddy
😅👍🏼
You sound like Theo von
Haha, I’ve heard that before
