1999 Mercury OptiMax Blue Water Outboards

Mercury OptiMax Blue Water outboards are the most advanced offshore outboards you can run with. The all-new high pressure fuel delivery system creates an ideal plume of atomized fuel and air in the combustion chamber. The result is unheard of fuel efficiencies. Under normal operating conditions, fuel consumption is reduced by up to 45%. That translates to a longer cruising range, so you can get to the really big ones. You can also get smoother running, the capability to hold rpm in any conditions, and virtually smoke-free operation, even at idle speeds. These OptiMax Blue Water models have the most powerful alternators in their class. That's more than enough power to keep all your electronics running all day long. And, of course, they feature the industry exclusive 3-year limited corrosion failure guarantee. You wouldn't expect anything less from Mercury.

Mercury OptiMax Blue Water outboards are available in 225-, 200-, 150-, and 135-hp. All Blue Water OptiMax models feature: Compact 60 degree V-6 cylinder configuration Water cooled with thermostat and pressure controlled Electric turnkey starting F-N-R gear shift Remote steering Power trim and tilt Flo-Torq II propeller drive Direct fuel injection Through prop exhaust Computer controlled electronic multi-port variable ratio oil injection Run on unleaded 87 minimum octane fuel 60 amp (846 watt) belt driven alternator system with voltage regulator Extensive engine protection system alerts operator of overheat, low oil, water in fuel, and check engine in order to avoid any potential engine damaging conditions Digital inductive ignition system RPM stability under all conditions Ultra crisp throttle response Extremely slow, stable idle quality Complies with EPA requirements to the year 2006 Engines built with world class partners including Motorola, Siemens, and Orbital Engine Technology
