In a class all its own.
For people who demand speed and acceleration from their
outboards, the OptiMax Pro XS is the only choice. Mercury engineers
leveraged the Mercury Racing heritage to develop this family of
high-performance Direct Injected outboards. The result is an outboard
family that blows away the competition when it comes to power,
durability, performance and fuel efficiency.
Nothing on the water today is faster or more proven than the
OptiMax Pro XS. And we’re proud to introduce the newest addition to
this family, the 150hp OptiMax Pro XS. In head-to-head tests, the 150
Pro XS outran the competition by almost 5 MPH while delivering 15%
better fuel economy! The 150 Pro XS is a perfect fit for those anglers
looking to increase the performance of their 18-foot fishing boats.
With remarkable acceleration and awesome performance, the
Optimax Pro XS lineup has created a class of its own. Nothing else is
faster or more proven than the OptiMax Pro XS.
PERFORMANCE
Powerful and Smooth
The OptiMax Two-Stage Direct Injection System produces
consistent performance and unmatched throttle response by providing a
constant supply of atomized fuel and air. The Pro XS also offers a
Higher Wide-Open-Throttle RPM Operating Range, giving you more propeller
options to maximize the performance of your boat. Visit the
mercurymarine.com Prop Selector to choose the prop that’s right for you.
Light and Fast
The compact 60-degree V6 block combines the smooth-running
characteristics of a powerful V6 engine with a slim, lightweight design,
making it a great choice for almost any type of boat. It consistently
outperforms other DI engines in holeshot, mid-range acceleration and
top-end speed.
Run with the Pros
The tournament-tested Mercury ProXS lineup is the choice of
thousands of performance-minded anglers. Only OptiMax ProXS engines
feature durable and responsive Carbon Fiber Reeds to control airflow
into the engine crankcase, while dome-Shaped Piston Heads direct the
fuel-and-air charge to the spark plug more efficiently. This results in
amazing power, outstanding durability, and excellent running quality. In
head-to-head tests, the 150hp ProXS outran the competition by almost 5
MPH – while delivering 15% better fuel economy. In addition, we
outfitted the 250hp ProXS with Solid Billet Aluminum Mounts to keep the
engine from turning or twisting under high torque (20-inch models only).
Reliability
Long-Lasting Stainless
OptiMax is built with more stainless steel and
corrosion-resistant components, which translates to saltwater
durability, longer intervals between maintenance, and lower cost of
ownership. In addition, our lower-pressure direct-injection system also
provides superior component durability and longevity.
Fuel Effeciency
Ultimate Efficiency
The innovative OptiMax Direct Injected system delivers the
ultimate in efficiency, squeezing more miles and performance from every
drop of fuel. The unique shapes of the OptiMax-exclusive Dome-Shaped
Pistons and combustion chambers enhance fuel economy and lower emissions
by efficiently directing the fuel/air charge to the spark plug. The
OptiMax Air Compressor provides a steady charge of cooled air for
maximum combustion efficiency.
