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!

 

 

Acceleration excellence.

OptiMax provides superb hole shot and acceleration, improving boat handling and increasing your comfort level.

 

 

Quick and easy starts.

It’s simple: OptiMax engines start as easily as your car. Turn the key and go.

 

 

Information at your fingertips.

Get in touch with your OptiMax with SmartCraft. Dial in a precise trolling speed, find a cruising speed that conserves fuel, or check the level of your gas tanks from the easy-to-read, easy-to-use SmartCraft gauges.

 

 

Better value.

OptiMax: Powerful, fuel-efficient and priced right.

OptiMax combines uncompromising power, performance and efficiency at a price that's less than comparably powered four-strokes.

 

 

Efficient technology.

OptiMax engines use up to 50 percent less fuel than conventional two-stroke engines.

 

 

Lightweight.

OptiMax engines weigh significantly less than most four-strokes in their class, making them an excellent choice for any type of boat hull.

 

 

Lower maintenance.

Spend your weekends boating and fishing – not maintaining your engine. With long service intervals and no oil changes, OptiMax saves your most precious commodity: time.
