Mercury to launch two new engines in fuel efficient OptiMax family
This summer, Mercury Marine will add two new powerful siblings to its industry-leading OptiMax outboard family — the OptiMax 175 Pro XS and the 250 OptiMax.
The OptiMax fuel system matches, and even surpasses, the fuel efficiency of many of today's large four-strokes. Compared to traditional two- strokes, the OptiMax fuel system uses as much as 45 percent less fuel for the same running period.
