MERCURY MARINE LAUNCHES TWO NEW FUEL-EFFICIENT OPTIMAX OUTBOARDS
Mercury Marine, the largest USA outboard manufacturer, has announced the introduction of two new OptiMax outboard models for the northern hemisphere summer.
The two new outboards, the 200 Pro XS and the 125 hp, use the Orbital FlexDI™ systems. They are reported as having best in class fuel economy and both engines have been certified for the California 3 Star emission standards which are the most stringent standards for outboards today in the world.
The 200 Pro XS, designed for the professional sports fisherman and other high performance applications, is based on the successful 3.0 litre V6 engine platform with the new 125 hp based on the in-line 3 cylinder 1.5 litre engine platform.
The OptiMax outboard series was first introduced by Mercury Marine in 1996, and now covers a full range from 75 through to 300 hp, including several special racing/high performance engines and 2 jet drive outboards.
Synerject, Orbital's Joint Venture partnership with Continental AG is a key supplier to Mercury for the OptiMax fuel injection systems.
