Yamaha 9.9 high thrust SOLD

[Big Scotch]

Please find for sale my Yamaha 9.9 high thrust electric start manual trim long shaft (maybe extra long shaft) kicker with prop guard. It’s an ‘07 (I think) with very few hours, the boat I bought had two (yes two) kickers on it and only 270 hrs on the main. I will include close up of model number (shortly) for you to verify any pertinent information. This kicker went almost unused as it’s tiller steer and the other one is controlled by the rear helm. Asking $1350

Your letting Captain Decent down! Two kickers is ultimate redundancy!

 

[wdlfbio]

Weird. A kicker for sale that’s still on a boat and with intact fuel lines.

 

[Big Scotch]

Is that bad Laurence? Actually the pics were taken at the church in Westport and the motor now sits in my garage in Tacoma, however, I will have the fuel
line and a battery available to show function if somebody is interested.

He’s referencing that most kickers for sale on offer up and CL are stolen, and you see all the lines cut and clamps hacked up. That’s a nice motor at a fair price

Severed fuel lines and cutoff battery cables greatly reduces value.

10-4, nope, I’m sure I overpaid for the whole enchilada, just trying to sell one of the 3 9.9’s I have at a time so I can put the funds towards a high thrust 25. I think I’ll be able to tuna troll with a 25, we’ll see

 

[wdlfbio]

Well, if it’s not your boat, then yeah, it’s bad.

But, since it is likely your boat, then it’s a chance for someone to buy a good motor that some POS tweaker didn’t hack off the ass end of decent boat owner’s rig that couldn’t afford to garage it.

Those are very rare!

Have the high thrust 25 on ours and make 6-8 knots trolling tuna with it no problem very happy with it same boat but heard the white paint makes it go faster

Lol, definitely going to head that way with it, so you have a ladder off your swimstep? If so, can you send me a pic? Mine fire hoses water on the deck when we’re out in the big water and I think I remember the owner saying it’s a weldcraft ladder or something, either way I’m going to have to cut it off and wanted to see what a stock one looks like.... and yes, it’s my boat, not selling for a tweaker

Hey @Big Scotch / Dylan, I'm in need of a functional kicker. What part of Tacompton are you in?

I bet a wide open throttle 25 burns more fuel than your main trolling. You will hate the steering characteristics of that, and in any sort of water other than pond water it will probably come in and out every wave you troll over. Keep one of the 9.9’s and potentially upgrade your transducer to a nice 1kw unit and get some dedicated tuna gear if you don’t have it all ready, and still have some beer money left. IMO those things would be more important than trollin 8 knots on a kicker. YMMV

I tend to agree with Patrick. Modern motors can take more hours than any of us average folk can ever put on them until they die of old age. (I’d rather have a 3 year old motor with 2000 hours than a 15 year old motor with 400)

You might also find a 25 on the back humming at 5000 rpm gets to be more annoying than a main putting along sub 2k.

Trolling is a last resort anyways.

I troll tuna with my 25 HT and I have a 26OS. I would buy the new conventional 25 with EFI and NMEA out though, not the HT. Then if you leave the damn thing down by accident, you won't blow up the $2700 lower unit...

I’m on 6th Ave across the street from Gray Lumber

Punishment for tuna trolling on your 25....

Hey Big Scotch how did you get your name?

Feel your pain brother.

Hey Big Scotch how did you get your name?

I’m 6’5” 325 lbs and I like scotch. My fishing crew nicknamed me that the first time we did a Hali weekend in La Push years ago. It just stuck.

Thanks Mike! I thought that might be the placement, looks like a factory grab bar on the right side there too, gonna have to do some grinding and get some welding done this off season

[paveingnomo]

Some I’ve seen are a little more to the right more on the curve. I think they may be a little longer than ours which would be great for old farts like me

It goes fast enough and it's nice to be at the rear helm when a rod goes off.

 

[Tomictime]

ladder Almar 1995 but I have seen them on the curve and also pointed directly aft. I still fish this boat and appreciate the longer ladder, easy to climb back in after a 2 big scotch.....not.

great deal on a super kicker..

FWIW my 25 HT will push 12 tons to 5 knots...
