I have a 10 foot homemade flat-bottom boat that I run in Puget Sound with a 6 horse that goes 17 knots. Having a well trimmed engine (unlike the Suzuki) and the proper pitch prop would increase the performance numbers drastically.
Totally agree, testers were morons. The cavitation plate height must be adjusted to specs. Either raise or lower the motor on the transom (not trim angle).
If you read the magazine article, the Suzuki was a long shaft they got by mistake, hence the spray etc. given how it performed even with that handicap, it was probably the best there performance wise. Without them being set up properly in terms of trim, prop size etc. to perform at their best on the boat used for the test the results are pretty much worthless.
I have a small rubberboat 3 meter 90 cm long. with trespa floors and air middle section. currently I use a yamaha 4hp, I would like to go faster, but I am not allowed to go beyond 11 knots. what do you think how much hp I willl need. I was looking for 6 HP.
Wow a lot of time passed but i wanted to write.. i couldnt even go 7-8 knot with my 6 hp Mercury with 3.80 Yamaha boat. Now i have 9.9 Yamaha 4 Stroke. With 2 guy it goes 30-32km/h but its not enough for this boat so im looking for a 20 HP Yamaha
Why can't you give the top speed of all of the engines. As I have a inflatable rib same as the one you tested them on and I am looking to purchase a new 10hp and I want to purchase the One with the best top speed for my boat
hi, i have a SIB, 84lbs 3m inflatable with air floor. yamaha 6hp 4stroke, 60lbs,trim pin at 1st position by transom. i just can't get it to go faster than 8mph, can't expect any planing. at full throttle the stern sinks and bow raises, total weight; 2x people+cargo+engine 390lbs do i need a bigger engine? or ride with 1 passenger only. with one passenger it would weigh, 295lb. Should i buy a 9.9hp 2 stroke or get a 9.9hp 4stroke? 4 strokes are heavy, and do you think its ok to put a 15hp 2stroke on it? the boat is rated for 10hp outboard and overall carrying weight of 1100lbs. thanks for your time.
6hp should be able to plane (12-13 mph) with 240kg or 520lbs total weight and with correct propeller. you don't need a bigger engine. you just have to move all weight from back of the boat to the front of the boat, including cargo and yourself, that is essential. and put it in 2nd trim hole. if that does not help, use a propellere with smaller pitch. check my videos on how pitch affects speed
I had a 6hp Yamaha 2 stroke on my 3m Zodiac RIB, it would plane with just me, my gear (a lot of it) and a small dog onboard, but I had to move forward to get it to plane mostly, especially in rougher water. It would plane once it reached 8kts and then max out at 11-13kts. Now I have 15HP Yamaha 2 stroke, it planes with the same load in about 5-10seconds, but in really rough conditions going up a bigger wave still won't plane easily. Top speed about 18-19kts now, with pretty poor propeller. With 1 more person onboard, very little gear and the dog 6hp would not plane at all. With 15HP it porpoises when at speed over 15kts.
I have hangkai 3.5hp.. it was my first engine, and still my favorite engine for stormy weather when fishing with nets.. I have electric motor that I use instead of hangkai when it is waiting for parts. I have 6hp for fishing in good weather.. it make my sib a speed boat planning at 35-40 km/h getting me and my nets from A to B in no time, and I have a monsterengine made out of Hidea leg and mercury motor. This is my killer engine.. I will never use it for fishing, but for wakeboarding with kids or water skiing .. The Mercury is a BLAST!!!!!!!!! It is a monster of an engine.. to bad it dont have handles so it is very tough to lift it. Visit my channel, you will find something with every engine i have. I am no commertial channel and do not work for anyone.. Every review is a user review and very honest. And if there is no review there is a video of me raping the angine every possible way. Well thats almost every engine.. the 15HP if i try to rape it, ille get raped and killed.. Have fun.
👍I'm getting so excited!!! My inflatable is on its way. I picked up s Suzuki 9.9 . $1287 brand new. I bought a 4 blade prop. West Marine $87.00. Now I have to run to the bathroom. I told you I'm excited!!!😜# 1🤣
The boat is in the same way as to the above mentioned position of the most important to you and your powder and the tank. It's not the same boat as a safe sender and the powder.
Look after your old 2 stroke, never mind these 40kg anchors. Got a 2003 15hp Mercury 2 stoke, 32kg....it flies, will push a boat like this over 22 knots easy. Got all the "modern features" too, throttle/gear combo etc.
@@basaltrock8603 used to have 1999 merc 9.9 2 stroke. Now i have a suzuki 9.9 from 2015 and i can say that the suzuki is the overall better engine for sure
What props did they use? At the end of the day 9.9 hp is just that, correctly set up I doubt there would be that much difference in performance, perhaps a little with the heavier Honda depending on the boat, but the same power should give about the same performance all other things being equal.
I would not consider this a valid review for US buyers. Hands down the Suzuki 9.9hp is the best. It is the only 9.9hp that currently offers EFI.... Fastest Starting Most Reliable with todays Ethanol fuel!
Evans Channel yea, i had the 30hp Suzuki Lean burn before it came out in 2015. Best outboard engine ive ever had.. sold the 15ft rib and bought a little dingy instead. Easier to have back on the boat. It has a 1980 Suzuki 3.5hp. Im really impressed with it.. tohatsu is also one of my favorite outboard engines.
+Diego De León We invited them, but they couldn't make our testing dates... We have previously reviewed their 2.5hp unit though - www.mby.com/general/ultimate-2-5hp-outboard-test-40258/8
I'll check the review... It's good to know there are great electric alternatives, in combination with the solar panel they sell those are the perfect outboards for a sailboat's tender...
Felt the same, I'm looking at a 10hp and felt I learned nothing from this or reading the magazine article, the fact the Suzuki was a long shaft motor tells you all you need to know about the value of the overall results.

Kasim K no dipshit it is Yamaha it even fucking says on the fucking motor
The fuel switch is really easy to get hold "pulls choke"
He did the same thing on the 5 horse video...while calling it the “kill switch”.
Yeah those lads have shitty reviews. No charts, no numbers, call the parts wrong, even chapters on youtube have wrong titles. I would not trust them.
Brilliant I’ve just seen this 😂 kills engine with over fuel
Of course you're going to get spray off the Suzuki. Looks like you guys are just slapping the engines on and not bothering to adjust them to spec
I get no back wash from my Suzuki try clapping it down properly
Probably they used long shaft version like in 5hp and complained about the backwash. Idiots. LOL
I have a 10 foot homemade flat-bottom boat that I run in Puget Sound with a 6 horse that goes 17 knots. Having a well trimmed engine (unlike the Suzuki) and the proper pitch prop would increase the performance numbers drastically.
0:42 thats not the kill switch!
Exactly - I don't want to go on a boat with these guys
Lol it's the choke
you need to trim the suzuki
Totally agree, testers were morons. The cavitation plate height must be adjusted to specs. Either raise or lower the motor on the transom (not trim angle).
They most certainly look like Dumb and Dumber..... Pleasseeee... nor would my 11-year-old son do that ! And he knows better how to govern boat !

Hasan Gökhan Gözde 3.80 sisme bota 20 beygir mi takacaksiniz? Bana 10 bile cok geldi. Sanirim fakirim ondan okuyor bunlar. 😀
The audio is very hard to hear, please use a lapel mic .
is it a SIB??
What tipe a boat is that ????
Price?
for 4 people in inflatable boat how much hp power outboard is required.
with the lehr engine there one major problm i can see, capsizing, that propane can will take no prisoners when the the boat flips
Also a full propane bottle floats
What about 2021 model's? 😁👌
EFI system are now available.
Why can't you give the top speed of all of the engines. As I have a inflatable rib same as the one you tested them on and I am looking to purchase a new 10hp and I want to purchase the One with the best top speed for my boat
What size of the boat you used for this test? Thanks.

Try to set pin to 2nd position, it should help the boat to get on plane.
I have a 5hp 2t on my 3.3 planes very well check you pin mine in 1st hole

Mercury is made by Tohatsu up to 30 hp outboard motors
👍I'm getting so excited!!! My inflatable is on its way. I picked up s Suzuki 9.9 . $1287 brand new. I bought a 4 blade prop. West Marine $87.00.
Now I have to run to the bathroom.
I told you I'm excited!!!😜# 1🤣
I'm in the US and that motors starts at 2600. Where do you live. Do you have a link to where you bought your motor? Thank you for your help.

It was 1595 my mistake. Plus it's like three hundred bucks Freight on board. And it's a 2019 not a 2020. 4-stroke tell how can you beat it?
@@denniscosban6145 thank you for the link. How long did it take to ship to you?
Muito bom, Favor traduzir para o português
4 years later what about new models? Let's hope that 2021 models will be tested.
Pena que não se encontra esses motores e nem esses botes aqui no Brasil .
In conclusion, the one on the port is not as thick as the other, but the other is not as dull as the one on port !!!
thanks for talking about backwash, silent mess that ruins an outboard
Do I need license to driver this kind a boat ?
Depends where u live. In Germany, generally no for this boat.
The boat is in the same way as to the above mentioned position of the most important to you and your powder and the tank. It's not the same boat as a safe sender and the powder.
Yes in Canada
I posted a video of myself in a 12 foot or 14 foot aluminum boat with a 9.9 Johnson engine. Got on plane in less that 5 seconds.
because longer boats have less bow rise and get on plane quick. my friends 14ft boat weith 20hp evinrude gets on plane in 2-3 seconds
Johnson engines are the best💪💪
Look after your old 2 stroke, never mind these 40kg anchors. Got a 2003 15hp Mercury 2 stoke, 32kg....it flies, will push a boat like this over 22 knots easy. Got all the "modern features" too, throttle/gear combo etc.
But wont run this smooth and it will stink and is not as reliable
@@yoranvaatstra6249 Does, doesn't, is.
@@basaltrock8603 used to have 1999 merc 9.9 2 stroke. Now i have a suzuki 9.9 from 2015 and i can say that the suzuki is the overall better engine for sure
yoran vaatstra 2 stroke has more torquee and run Good if you have A 90s 00s 2 stroke
Just the smoke 💨 you inhale while using a 2 stroke that’s why 4t so much better for that reason alone !!
I'm thinking about buying a 9.9 hp motor, which one do you prefer?
Kevin Li get an old Johnson 15. same as a 9.9 just bigger carb. and they move a light boat
i got the mercury 9.9 and i haven't test it out yet. it's winter in CANADA and the lake is frozen into ice
Kevin Li what year?
Trim the fucking outboards property and you’ll go way faster
how to get fast on plane with a small 270 rib with 6hp
put the mariner up 1 click its hanging at too big an angle
14 Knots on Yamaha 9.9 aye? My 2.3 Honda goes 12 knots trimmed.
What props did they use? At the end of the day 9.9 hp is just that, correctly set up I doubt there would be that much difference in performance, perhaps a little with the heavier Honda depending on the boat, but the same power should give about the same performance all other things being equal.
Tohatsu all day. My hard bottom 10.5' is 20kts with me and my gear. 4yrsno issues
Watch our 5hp outboard review at: ua-cam.com/video/TMgL7YOgXdY/v-deo.html
I have the honda and it gets my heavy fiberglass boat to 17 knots.
What is the weight of your boat?? I am considering the honda for my trailer sailor. Thanks.
My 1974 Johnson 9.5 blows these into the weeds!
2strokes the way to go
