Pulled the trigger!

[chowdan]

Well i finally bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on a Mercury 9.9HP with the "command thrust" lower end and the big 4 blade high thrust prop!

Some of oyu i know will be happy to hear this

I figured for $2450, $200 mail in rebate, i can get the engine, and search for a diesel later on if i feel i need it.

Hopefully this will be enough to keep us happy and running for a while

PS - The real reason i bought new was due to the frustration I've had over the last 2 weeks with my 2 stroke 15hp merc. First i thought it was ignition coils, replaced those, nothing, thought it was fouled carb, pulled carb, rebuilt it, installed it, and during tuning it does not want to tune correctly. I can't get it to stay running for the life of me when warm.

How's this motor? Is the command thrust the same a pro kicker. Hard to figure out on merc site. And tohatsu that makes the motor for merc does not sell a 9.9 with the oversized gearbox.

May need to replace a Yamaha T8 in near future.

Why would you pull a trigger on an engine, surely it cant be that bad that you have to shoot it?

Part of the new greatness will be triggers on everything

And biting the bullet while pulling a trigger, surely the bullet should have been in the gun not in your teeth?
