Why the  Yamaha Outboards 9.9HP | T9.9XPHB2 High Thrust Excels: Unmatched Thrust, 25-Inch Shaft Versatility, and Tiller Precision

For boaters who consistently push heavy loads, need precise low-speed control, or operate in demanding conditions, the Yamaha T9.9XPHB2 High Thrust, in fact, stands out as a true workhorse. Primarily, its specialized High Thrust design, featuring a larger gearcase and a higher gear ratio (2.92:1), translates into substantially more pushing power, especially critical for heavy pontoons, sailboats, and as a trolling motor for large fishing boats.

This is further optimized by the standard Dual Thrust™ propeller, which is specifically designed to redirect exhaust flow for up to 60% more forward thrust and an impressive 70% more thrust in reverse, providing incredible stopping and maneuvering capability. Furthermore, the 25-inch extra-long shaft (X-length) allows for optimal mounting on vessels with high transoms, ensuring the propeller remains submerged even in choppy conditions or when dealing with heavy loads.

The intuitive tiller handle provides direct and immediate control over steering, throttle, and shifting, a preference for many who operate small boats or use it as a kicker. Consequently, the T9.9XPHB2 is engineered to deliver powerful, dependable performance with precise control, year after year.

Core Features of Your Yamaha T9.9XPHB2 9.9 HP High Thrust Outboard

High Thrust (T-Series) Design

The defining characteristic of the T9.9XPHB2 is its High Thrust “T” series designation. This means it’s built with a unique lower unit that features a larger gearcase and a significantly higher gear ratio (2.92:1). This specialized design allows it to swing a larger, low-pitch propeller (like Yamaha’s Dual Thrust™ propellers), generating immense pushing power for heavy loads and providing exceptional thrust for precise maneuvering, especially in reverse.

Optimized for Torque and Control

Unlike conventional outboards designed for speed, the T9.9XPHB2 is purpose-built for torque. Its 212cc In-Line 2 four-stroke engine delivers robust power to the large propeller, ensuring strong acceleration even with heavy loads and precise low-speed control, essential for docking or maneuvering in tight spaces, or for precise trolling.

Dual Thrust™ Propeller (Standard)

The T9.9XPHB2 comes standard with Yamaha’s innovative Dual Thrust™ propeller. These propellers feature a larger diameter and a unique design that redirects exhaust flow to provide significantly enhanced thrust in both forward and reverse. This dramatically improves stopping power and low-speed maneuverability, crucial for heavy boats.

Extra-Long (25-inch) Shaft

The “X” in T9.9XPHB2 specifies a 25-inch shaft length. This makes it ideal for kicker motor applications on larger multi-species fishing boats, as well as auxiliary power for sailboats or other vessels with tall transoms, ensuring the propeller remains submerged even in challenging conditions.

Electric Start

The T9.9XPHB2 comes standard with electric start for convenient push-button ignition. This provides effortless starting, making it quick and easy to get on the water or to engage the kicker when needed.

Power Tilt

The “P” denotes Power Tilt. This essential feature allows you to conveniently tilt the engine up or down with a simple press of a button on the tiller handle or at your helm. This is perfect for shallow water operation, clearing debris, beaching, or simply raising the engine for trailering or storage, without the need for manual lifting.

Multi-Function Tiller Handle

The “H” denotes a multi-function tiller handle. This ergonomic control integrates steering, throttle, and shifting directly at your fingertips. Yamaha’s tiller handles often include the Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS®), allowing you to fine-tune your trolling speed in precise 50 RPM increments, which is highly beneficial for anglers. It also offers wide-angle steering for maximum maneuverability.

Portable Design with Carry Handles and Resting Pads

Despite its robust features, the T9.9XPHB2 is designed for portability. It features convenient carry handles for easier lifting and transport, as well as built-in resting pads that allow the engine to be stored on its side without oil leakage, simplifying storage in tight spaces.

High Output Alternator

Equipped with a 6-amp alternator, the T9.9XPHB2 generates sufficient power to keep your boat’s battery charged and run essential electronics, lights, and other accessories, even during extended idling or slow trolling.

Durable and Reliable Construction

Built with Yamaha’s legendary quality, the T9.9XPHB2 features a robust design. It includes a carbureted fuel induction system, a microcomputer-controlled ignition, a wet sump lubrication system with an oil retention system for side storage, and Yamaha’s advanced anti-corrosion protection. It’s engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use and provide years of trouble-free operation.

Freshwater Flushing Device

A convenient freshwater flushing device is integrated into the engine. This allows you to easily flush salt and debris from the cooling passages without running the engine, greatly extending the lifespan of your outboard, especially after saltwater use.

Perfect Applications for Your T9.9XPHB2 High Thrust Outboard

The Yamaha T9.9XPHB2 High Thrust is specifically engineered for a range of demanding marine applications:

• Kicker Motor for Multi-Species Fishing Boats: Indeed, it is an ideal choice for large bass boats, walleye boats, or other multi-species fishing boats, providing precise trolling speed control, powerful reverse thrust for boat positioning, and reliable backup power. The 25-inch shaft is perfect for high transoms.
• Sailboat Auxiliary Motor: Offers powerful and efficient auxiliary propulsion for larger sailboats, providing superior thrust for docking, navigating currents, and reliable backup when the sails are down.
• Pontoon Boats: While a 50HP High Thrust is more common for primary power, the T9.9XPHB2 can serve as a reliable kicker or even primary power on smaller, lighter pontoons, especially where precise low-speed maneuvering is paramount.
• Heavy Tenders & Dinghies: Provides the robust pushing power needed for larger, heavier tenders that carry significant loads.
• Work Boats & Utility Craft: Excellent for smaller workboats or utility craft that need precise control and strong thrust for specialized tasks.
