Value always wins.

DFI engines: Fulfill your needs for less.

You need an engine, and you want the best possible value. What if an engine could fulfill your needs for less money and with fewer hassles? It's the Mercury 2.5L OptiMax.

If you fish, cruise or do both with your boat, you'll love OptiMax. Don't let a day on the water be ruined by a big fuel bill. OptiMax can save you up to half on gas expenses.

Lighter than four-strokes in its class, the 2.5L is weight-friendly with every boat hull out there. It features excellent performance and hole shot – just what you need to pull a tube rider or skier. Remarkably, it also trolls at lower speeds than comparable four-strokes.

OptiMax starts like your car. Sit down, turn the key, feel the power.

OptiMax engines require very little maintenance, and you never need to change oil. You can power your boat's stereo, fishfinder or other electronics with ease. Add a three-year, nondeclining, transferable limited warranty and an exclusive three-year, nondeclining corrosion failure limited warranty, and you have the ultimate in sensible power!
