Go for the max with OPTIMAX

No Direct Fuel injected engine has seen more use, testing or success than Mercury Optimax, so it’s not surprising that Optimax repeatedly leads every DI category in power, fuel efficiency, reliability and versatility. It all adds up to a line of power units that deliver more and deliver better.
Optimax can save considerably on fuel expense, even compared to many four-stroke engines in the same power class. Lighter than four strokes in their class, the 3.0L and 2.5L Optimax models offer power-to-weight advantages on every boat and feature excellent acceleration and overall performance. Remarkably, Optimax also trolls at lower speeds than many comparable four-strokes.
