THE DI ADVANTAGE
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.
CHAMPIONSHIP-CALIBER PERFORMANCE
With a long history of proven, powerful performance,
OptiMax Pro XS was designed to rule the water.
♦ Rooted in Mercury Racing, OptiMax
Pro XS tapped into Mercury’s tradition
of speed, power and durability.
♦ J.D. Power and Associates ranked OptiMax
highest in customer satisfaction the past three years.
OPTIMUM EFFICIENCY
FOR MAXIMUM SAVINGS
OptiMax Pro XS is engineered to squeeze more out
of every gallon, allowing you to run farther for less.
♦ Proven DI system boasts the industry’s leading
fuel-and-air atomization that gives 250 hp Pro XS up
to 52 more miles (83 km) per 48-gallon (181-liter) tank
than Evinrude 250 hp E-TEC HO.
SPEED THAT LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS
Facts are facts. When it comes to top speed and
acceleration, Mercury OptiMax Pro XS blows
everything else out of the water.
♦ High-performance carbon fiber reeds take in more
air for improved response and performance.
♦ The OptiMax Pro XS two-stage DI system makes
it the quickest, most responsive DI engine anywhere.
