DISCOVER WHY MORE BOATERS CHOOSE OPTIMAX OVER OTHER DI ENGINES

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.

A LEGEND IN THE MAKING

Durable, reliable and virtually maintenance-free,
OptiMax is the most proven DI engine
in the marine industry.

Rated highest in customer

satisfaction three years running.

Best-selling DI outboard on the

market.

KISS THE GAS STATION GOOD -BYE

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.

FAST FACTS

The other guys can’t compete with OptiMax
acceleration or top speed.

Two-stage DI system provides a consistent supply

of atomized fuel and air for lightning-fast holeshot.

The lightest 3-liter two-stroke in its class, OptiMax

delivers the perfect balance of power and weight

thanks to its compact 60-Degree V6 Block.
