Cool man My daughter was that age when she started going great vid. I have the same motor on a Southfork 1548 it gets 19 mph with just me. I was thinking of doing the 25hp carb and prop any thoughts.

[@Getdownorlaydownbum]

What transom angle do you have it set on

[@ki11m3please325]

I just bought a 9.9 mercury 4 stroke sat for 7 years the owner said at the estate sale. Second pull and it just purrs. I’m so happy with my purchase.

[@5050fishing]

That’s awesome!

[@ericbest9562]

Make sure you check or replace that impeller!!!

I'm looking to get a 14 foot jon boat and will take 2 dogs. I live near small rivers and lakes. I see no reason to buy a large boat. I haven't decided what motor to buy. Any suggestions?

[@DNYS8N]

Water is so flat, will it work in big lake,?

[@stevenw2032]

How well does spot lock work with the trolling motor mounted to the side like that?

[@5050fishing]

Perfect

[@Andy-lt2pt]

Do you know about how much you draft?

[@lets_fish_already_9345]

I use that same motor on a 14ft V bottom and once it gets up on plane it really flies down the lake.

[@5050fishing]

Such a great little motor

[@micahtorres9886]

Nice vid. Thx man. I recently got a 14 foot flat bottom. Needs a motor and thats why im here 😎🤙🤙

[@5050fishing]

Awesome!

[@SteveChenFishing]

Hi there nice video. May I ask how long shaft is your motor guide Xi3? Thx

[@5050fishing]

I believe only 36”.

[@SteveChenFishing]

@@5050fishing Thx I'm thinking of getting the same one😁

[@Zach-gz6zg]

what do you think about putting on of these on a 16ft bass boat?

[@5050fishing]

It would probably be pretty slow lol

[@mikebarbarow1861]

That’s my favorite lake!!

[@5050fishing]

I live 15 minutes from it. 👀

[@schmoyo8]

Do I need a short shaft or long shaft outboard if I have a 14 foot coleman jon boat? New to this boating stuff. Wanna make sure I get the right thing

[@5050fishing]

Short

[@MelvinFlett]

Damn.... faster than my 14hp mudbuddy HD mini surface drive.😢😢😢

[@TopPredatorFishing]

Do you know what prop is on it? Ive got a similar setup but only get 8mph on the lake with it. Thinking my prop is sized wrong

[@chriselliott9025]

I got the same problem😂 can’t make it go on plane

[@NastyNate-fn6od]

Is your boat a 14x36 or 14x48?

[@lRickGrimesl]

36

[@lucasvantilburg5289]

Whats the high speed

22.5

[@kinardoutdoortv873]

I have a similar set up and me and my buddy couldn’t get more than six miles an hour out of it

[@5050fishing]

I’d say something is wrong with the motor lol

[@jameswarr6449]

@@kinardoutdoortv873 yea maybe that's it. I just got this motor and was searching to see what everyone elses speed is. I have a 14x40 jon boat with this motor. With me, my girlfriend and her dog, cooler full of drinks,fishing poles and tackle and we were getting about 18-19mph . Haven't tried it solo yet..

The 9.9 Merc 4 cycles have an accelerator pump, and each twist of the throttle floods the engine with a shot of gasoline. Don't flood the engine, with or without the engine running.

Your wife is awesome ❤

If you hit something... Slow down with family aboard.

It’s a 9.9 chill out grandpa

Nobody but a fool would put that baby in a boat without a life preserver on. It is strictly against the law
