Mercury 9.9 HP EFI 2024: The Fuel-Injected 9.9 Standard
The 2024 Mercury 9.9 HP EFI FourStroke brings electronic fuel injection to America’s favorite horsepower class. The 208cc twin cranks instantly in any weather, responds crisply from idle to wide open, and never suffers gummed carburetors after storage. Mercury’s multi-function tiller — the world’s first — puts shift, throttle, and controls in one hand; F-N-R gearing simplifies docking; and manual or electric start suits any rig. Add no-spill oil changes and a maintenance-free valve train, and this is the modern benchmark of the 9.9HP outboard class.
