OptiMax - Reliability
Nothing beats a day on your boat when you know it’s powered by the perfect engine. OptiMax is outfitted with innovative features designed to let you enjoy every available minute—features like its two-stage direct injected fuel system, ultra-reliable components and “smart” electronics that give you confidence to go as far as you like.
UNMATCHED FUEL EFFICIENCY
OptiMax fuel economy rates better than that of most four-stroke outboards. It’s founded on a proven DI system that boasts the industry’s leading fuel-and-air atomization. Plus, the unique shapes of the OptiMax piston heads and combustion chambers significantly add to its excellent fuel economy and low emissions.
SPECIALIZED PROTECTION
OptiMax/DFI Outboard Oil from Mercury Precision Lubricants® is formulated especially for the unique needs of OptiMax and other Direct Injected 2-cycle outboard engines by delivering superior protection and lubrication.
COMPLETE COVERAGE
Every Mercury OptiMax comes with a Three-Year Limited Factory-Backed, Nondeclining Warranty and the industry’s only three-year limited corrosion failure warranty (excluding Mercury Racing Outboards).
BUILT-IN RELIABILITY
OptiMax is built with more Stainless Steel Components, which translates to saltwater durability, longer intervals between maintenance and lower cost of ownership. In addition, our lower-pressure DI system also provides superior component durability and longevity.
TOTAL INTEGRATION
Optional SmartCraft® Integrated Marine Technology can integrate all boat and engine functions into an easily managed system. SmartCraft maximizes performance and delivers a greater sense of security with innovative features like Engine Guardian, a proactive operator- warning system that alerts you to anything unusual. OptiMax 200 and 225 horsepower models are available with SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift for a more enjoyable driving experience.
