@@joeykennedy5910 These go 1000 hours or 10 years with no problem. I have the 9,8 no but the 25 efi before. 12 years sitting on boat year round, newer flushed, one impeller change after 7 years. The 9,8 is just the same relaibility despite it,s carbed. But this one is wery good. They have recently replased the carb 9,8 209 ccm and a EFI on that one to.
Honestly I find it easier, the 15 has a moving grab handle where as the 9.8 had a stationary handle. The 15s is more ergonomic as well. Dont get me wrong 43kg is heavy but it isnt too bad
Hello mate, Yes, I leave the engine on the boat & the boat is on a trailer! It makes transporting everything easier, less load on myself & takes less time to pack away! I have another video on the channel of the engine lock I use to keep it safe under the terms of my insurance
Just got the 2023 9.9 electric start today, excited to take it out! Great video!
Nice James thats great news! I had a 9.8 electric start before this one 😄
Just bought a 20hp version of this engine for my 3.3m sib. Can’t wait for it to be delivered.
That’s amazing news for you 👊👊 they are really powerful, quiet & fuel efficient! Shame theyre a lump to carry 😂😁
Thats a very nice motor you have there matey!

Does it always stays on the boat?
