Boat enthusiasts, lend me your ears! The 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 1F10312BK 9.9EL FourStroke has landed and based on first impressions, it is set to revolutionize our watersport experiences. See Dealer Cost has got the inside scoop on the specs and I'm here to share my thoughts on this high performance outboard motor, considered one of the highlights in the 2-90 horsepower category. No, you don't have to take my word for it, but let's explore the features, shall we?
First off, let's talk about power. With a horsepower of 9.9 and a kW of 7.3, this Mercury marvel packs a punch that far outdoes its diminutive size. The engine type is an Inline 2, providing the perfect balance of performance and economy. The displacement stands at an impressive 12.8 CID / 208 CC, meaning this baby isn't just for paddling around in shallow waters.
The Mercury Outboard 1F10312BK operates at full throttle RPM between 5000-6000 - enough to keep up with your adventurous spirit. Its fuel induction system is a 2 valves per cylinder, single overhead cam (SOHC), maximising engine efficiency, and coupled with the recommended 87 octane fuel with up to 10% ethanol, it’s designed to deliver long-lasting performance while being considerate of the environment.
One of my favorite features is its engine protection operator warning system. A warning goes off when the oil pressure is low, or the motor is over-revving. Starting is both electric and manual and it has a remote/tiller steering that provides flexibility and control to users. This motor has a gearcase ratio of either 2.08:1 or 2.42:1 for the CT model, offering smooth and optimal propulsion.
The dry weight of the lightest model is a reasonable 84 lbs ( 38 kg). The Mercury Outboard Motor 1F10312BK is also CARB star rated 3, keeping the necessary emission requirements in check. Its ignition system is a CDI with electronic spark advance, ensuring smooth functioning and fuel efficiency even in challenging water conditions.
The cooling system is water-cooled with a thermostat, and the gear shifting is F-N-R. The power tilt trim system in the CT model, shallow water drive, and ratcheting trim positions are some impressive features that show Mercury has truly thought of everything when designing this outboard motor.
Available in an eye-catching Phantom Black, the Mercury Outboard Motor 1F10312BK 9.9EL FourStroke 2023 is competitively priced for the features and durability it offers. Seen through the lens of the dealer cost, this outboard motor is a serious contender in the 2 - 90 Horsepower market and definitely warrants a closer look.
Each time a new Mercury outboard motor hits the market, expectations are high, and the 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 1F10312BK 9.9EL FourStroke has lived up to the hype and arguably, surpassed it. It combines power, economy, and compactness with style, and this is what makes it outstanding.
Whether you're looking to replace an old motor or outfit a new boat, this is a model you'll definitely want to add to your shortlist. Time to set course for smooth sailing and thrilling watersports adventures!

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
