The T9.9 has been completely reworked and designed into the smallest four stroke in this class. It has all the features found in the F9.9 plus the additional benefits of Yamaha's exclusive high-thrust drive system, making the T9.9 the ideal choice for kicker, pontoon or any application where lightweight torque is required in both forward and reverse. |
|
RESPONSIVE POWER |
| The overhead camshaft design efficiently exchanges intake and exhaust gases for responsive power and fuel efficiency. |
|
PAD & FOLD |
|
An added resting pad means more storage options and improved storage stability, while the redesigned tiller handle allows the stored motor to take up less space. |
|
WITH A TWIST |
|
The driveshaft on the new F9.9F and T9.9G has a special centre section that is narrower than the ends. It is designed to temporarily "twist" should the prop coming into hard contact with an underwater object, protecting the powerhead, propshaft and other vital engine components.
|
|
MORE REVERSE THRUST |
|
Yamaha's unique dual-thrust propellers are designed to redirect the exhaust flow away, thereby reducing cavitation. This feature provides up to 60% more thrust in reverse. |
|
SMOOTH & QUIET |
|
The T9.9 is among the quietest engines in its class thanks in part to a single-latch sealed cowling, labyrinth exhaust and a water-sealed exhaust tube ? which provide excellent sound dampening. A long-span mounting system with large rubber engine mounts helps reduce vibration and noise. |
|
ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTION |
|
Yamaha's unique YDC-30 aluminium alloy protects the engine's exterior parts, while a zinc coating, high-quality stainless steel and 5-stage exterior coating offers long-lasting protection inside and out. |

When you think about it, buying a boat is a little bit like getting married. After all, this is the commitment of a lifetime, and you want to feel confident you’re making the right decision! Fortunately, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and plenty of boats and pontoons to choose from here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service. The following tips can help you narrow down the options and find your perfect match!
What kinds of activities are you interested in? This should be your guiding question when choosing a boat. If catching fish is on the agenda, you should seek out a fishing boat, with features such as rod holders and livewells. If you want to pursue the excitement of watersports, you should look for a boat with a powerful engine that can reach high speeds. Meanwhile, if you are looking to host parties on the water, a spacious luxury boat will serve you best.
That being said, there’s no need to limit yourself. There are some boats that can cover all your bases! Pontoon boats, for example, are incredibly versatile. We are passionate about pontoon boats here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service, and we recommend them to our customers who want to get a little bit of everything out of their boating experience.
Of course, you can’t talk about buying a boat without discussing all the costs involved! The upfront cost of purchasing a boat can be pretty steep, but the long-term costs are even more important to consider. When budgeting for a boat, remember to account for all the expenses that are going to add up over time – such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to set aside at least 10% of your boat’s total value each year for routine maintenance, and another 5% for any unexpected repairs. Meanwhile, you can expect to pay about 1.5% of the total value of your boat annually for insurance coverage.
If you have any questions about the boat buying process, you are always welcome to consult the sales team here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service! We are always happy to assist. You can find us in Chatham, ON, near London.
