    Dissapointed in 9.9 4 stroke

    Mercury does make mention of "dynamic dampening" rubber mounts instead of a ballance shaft ....probly to save weight . Changing the composition of the mounts probly more effective than adding more, but youd hope Mercury would have optimised them during development . Its one of them things...

    Dissapointed in 9.9 4 stroke

    They have 360⁰ crank phasing (both pistons go up and down together )and no ballance shaft so it will dance about at low speeds.

    Yeah you'd think , but thats a nyloc nut and they do work so I guess it comes down to what your used to. If your going to used nyloc nuts you really should used them once only . Ha , I have actually been on the lake with a friend fishing and racing our dinghies when I suddenly started winning...
