I have a 8hp merc on the back of my boat. It is electric start with manual tilt. I have no issues with lowering it manualy. It was between the 8hp and the 9.9 pro kicker and I decided on the 8hp with electric start cause it was roughly a thousand dollars cheaper when I bought it last spring and could not be happier.
Until the weak motor mount bracket breaks, or the sheet steel tilt lock bends and finally breaks. Not a question of if, but when. The real kickers are designed with this in mind, and are much beefier and worth the extra cost for these features and more. |
