Why Choose the Yamaha 9.9hp High Thrust Outboard
Yamaha’s High Thrust series is designed for demanding marine applications where extra power and precision are essential. Whether you’re pushing a heavy pontoon, navigating tricky marina waters, or powering a multi-species fishing boat, this motor delivers the muscle and control you need.
Unlike conventional outboards with similar horsepower, Yamaha High Thrust motors have a larger lower unit and optimized gear ratios. When paired with Dual Thrust™ propellers, they produce substantially more thrust—up to 60% more forward and 70% more reverse thrust—making them perfect for heavy-load, low-speed applications.
