Yamaha 9.9hp High Thrust Outboard

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.
