Thread: Mercury optimax

Im not up to date on the optimaxs, but the grandfather has a merc mariner 140, has about 700 hours on it now, the only thing that has gone wrong with it, was some one must have cut out a birds nest off a rod and dumped it, prop picked it up and wore out the lower oil seal= gearbox distructed.

I know every one loves the new four stroke and all, but if I could afford a boat Id still go for a decent 2 smoker or if the boat size warranted it duals
