What is the fuel mixture for Mercury 9.9 hp outboard? 

Striking the right balance between oil and fuel in your Mercury Marine 9.9 tiller outboard is vital for good maintenance and the longevity of your motor. When an excess of oil is used, it can damage components like pistons and spark plugs by generating too much exhaust. On the other hand, not using enough oil can result in an engine that's not properly lubricated.  

You can avoid issues with portable remote motors 2.5-25hp by using the manufacturer's recommended ratio of 50:1 fuel/oil (meaning 50 parts fuel to every 1 part oil you use).  

How fast does a Mercury 9.9 hp go? 

There are lots of factors that can dictate the top speed of a boat beyond the performance capabilities of the motor. For example, running through choppy waters will naturally decrease speeds, regardless of what type of motor you're using. Similarly, the design of the boat and the weight it carries can also play a role in how fast you travel.  

With these factors in mind, 9.9 hp outboard boat motors can reach impressive speeds despite their compact size. In some situations, this outboard can reach a top speed of 15 mph. Other tests have maxed out at 24 mph, albeit with highly favorable conditions.  

While your experience may vary, this outboard is ideal for boaters seeking easy transportability combined with swiftness.
