The smaller the fuel particle the better the combustion. Our Direct Injection system sends a mist of microscopic, atomized fuel and air particles directly into the cylinder. Eighty-nine times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, these fuel particles burn quicker, cleaner and more completely producing fewer emissions, better fuel economy and more responsive performance.

Complete coverage. Every Mercury outboard comes with a three-year limited, factory-backed nondeclining warranty and a three-year limited corrosion failure warranty (excluding Mercury Racing and two-stroke outboards).

More fuel-efficient than other two-strokes, OptiMax pays you back.

•DI system creates better fuel-and-air atomization

so every drop of fuel is combusted more consistently and completely.

•OptiMax air compressor delivers a steady charge of cooled air for maximum combustion efficiency and lower emissions.

It pays to run with OptiMax.

Mercury OptiMax 200 hp saves up to US $2,710 at

the pump over five years compared to other outboards.

•Exclusive deflector-shaped pistons direct fuel-air charge to the spark plug for more miles per gallon.

•OptiMax air compressor delivers a steady charge of cooled air for maximum combustion efficiency.

Remarkable range. At cruise, OptiMax

200 hp produces 32% better fuel efficiency

than Evinrude 200 hp E-TEC HO.

•Proven DI system boasts the industry’s most efficient fuel-and-air atomization.

•Unique combustion chambers promote maximum efficiency for greater savings.

Lose the weight. Mercury OptiMax 225 hp is the lightest

two-stroke in its class. It’s 42 lb lighter (19 kg) than Yamaha VMAX

225 HPDI and 21 lb (9.5 kg) lighter than Evinrude E-TEC 225 hp.

•Compact 60-Degree V6 Block gives you tons of power and acceleration without the bulk.

•Having the perfect balance of power and weight makes a huge difference in terms of overall performance.

“It’s got a great holeshot.

You can absolutely feel the power.”
