OPTIMAX ENGINES INCREASE RANGE FOR OFFSHORE FISHING
If you like to fish offshore you have probably had concerns at times about having enough fuel to go the distance to the fishing grounds and return with a safe margin for error. If you have outboard power on your boat then there is a solution to this problem. The answer is DFI engine technology. Direct Fuel Injection outboard engines burn considerable less fuel compared to Electronic Fuel Injection or Carburetor engines. My Mercury 225 hp OptiMax™ DFI engine burns approximately 40% less fuel at cruising speed than my previous engine. It burns 60% less fuel at trolling speeds. That translates into a considerable savings on fuel bills and also means much greater range. If you run long distances offshore and you are considering repowering your boat I would give serious thought to going with Mercury OptiMax™ power.
