The 9.9 motor is more than enough to push your boat around. Just a bit of advice here, though. The 9.9 is a little overpowering to the Remote Troll. If you open up that motor to a high throttle setting you could find it pushing (turning) your remote troll bracket on you and you will suddenly find yourself spinning in circles.
I have a 9.9 on mine and have had this happen a couple of times trying to correct for strong wind on the berry. I would probably very strongly consider trading my 9.9 motor for a 7.5 long shaft.
The other drawback to the remote troll is you can't adjust the height after it is mounted on the boat. Make sure the shaft of your motor is long enough to keep the prop and water intake in the water, even in waves.
