More OptiMax power

Mercury Marine has announced an upgrade to its OptiMax direct fuel injection range of two-stroke outboard engines

The enhancements to the line-up, which includes 12 OptiMax models ranging from 75 to 300hp vary by model but include improved sound level and quality and new styling, plus a new gear case on the 3lt engines.

Mercury product development and engineering teams focused heavily on key customer attributes, such as durability, reliability, noise, vibration and harshness and overall ease of operation.

The most dramatic differences are in the 3lt models, which range from 200 to 250hp. These engines now produce six decibels of sound less than previous models. The addition of a gearcase designed for Mercury’s supercharged FourStroke Verado has resulted in added efficiency, negligible steering torque, low noise, vibration and harshness, better fuel economy and more propeller speed.

Mercury’s exclusive SmartCraft technology will also get an upgrade on the new OptiMax engines.
