Would anyone happen to know what length shaft the 9.9 is equipped with?
Thx

Yamaha says this:

Portable 9.9 hp

Our 212-cc 9.9-hp portable is an impressive little outboard with a new, shorter tiller handle for increased comfort and the option of manual or electric start. The F9.9 platform is so popular, we also offer it in a high-thrust T9.9 format. The high-thrust model offers the option of a 25-inch shaft and a V MAX SHO® sport cowl when used as a kicker on a multi-species boat.

Available for remote mechanical or tiller-handle control
Only 87 pounds
Available in 15” and 20” and 25” (T9.9 only) shaft lengths
Solid 6-amp alternator

Our just delivered 2018 R-23 came with a Yamaha 9.9XPHB which is a 25" extra long shaft In the High Thrust model. I'm guessing the extra length is due to the kicker being mounted up on the bracket. I I'm pretty excited about this motor and can't wait to troll with it!

It also came with a Panther remote steering control so we don't need to connect a tie bar to the main. Very cool!

With a tie bar (as is provided with the new 2018 R-27/OBV model) you can not only steer the kicker at the helm but also use Autopilot using the Garmin 7612 or the Garmin Quatix 5 Watch.

RT has to use a tie bar solution for the R-27/OB because there's insufficient room between the F300 and the 9.9 motors.
