Mercury Marine's 225 OptiMax is a direct fuel injected (DFI) two-stroke.
It is red hot. Interesting to note, its genesis was a collaboration
between Mercury Racing and Mercury’s consumer outboard’s division. The
wild child is a 3.0 liter V-6 powerhead mated to a Torque Master gearcase,
replete with oversized gears, bearings and special cooling water pickups.
Translation: Mucho horsepower and a tough as nails personality, blended
with race course proven reliability.
You should also know Mercury OptiMax motors light their fire with the
Orbital Combustion Process (OCP). Essentially, this Australian technology
shoots raw gasoline directly into the combustion chamber in the precise
volume and at the optimal moment to build plenty of horsepower and minimal
emissions. Compared to the obsolete conventional two strokes of
yesteryear, Opti motors burn up to 45 percent less fuel. Another benefit,
at the fuel dock 87 octane works just fine. Because it is an Adkins
Diet-thin two-stroke, it tips the scales lightly.
