I just bought a 22’ hydroswift and am setting it up to be a fishing boat and am looking into getting a 6 -9.9 horse Yamaha or mercrury 4 stroke troller.
Looking for some feed back or reviews, likes and dislikes???

Don’t forget the Suzuki fuel injected 9.9 kicker.
I don’t have one yet,but the reviews are amazing.
I’ve got a Suzuki 9.9 that’s electric or pull start, it’s not a 4 stroke but it is oil injected so there’s no mixing of fuel. $725.00
Are they less noisy than the mercs.
I am not sure about that.
The Larson dealer in Layton may be able to answer that.
The decibal specifications should be online also.
Good luck.
I have an older 4 stroke 9.9 horse Yamaha with electric start and it has treated me good in the last year I have owned it. This year I installed a Troll Master, that makes it so much easier to control the trolling speed, without going to the motor to adjust your trolling speed.
What kind of merc kicker have you had that was noisy? Was it a single cyl?
I had a 2 stroke 6 hp Yamaha that ran like a champ, I sold it with my old boat because i wanted to go with a 4 stroke and get rid of the extra fuel tank.
I am looking at a 8 hp merc or a 9.9 yamaha.
I already bought a remote troll W/ swim deck mount.
