I have (2) 200 OPTIS & HAVE BLOWN THE SAME POWER HEAD TWICE. MERCSUCKERY WILL NOT WARRANTY OR STAND BEHIND THEIR JUNK.<br />We now have a list of over 100 disgruntled optimax motor owners. We are compiling the list so we can start a full fledged class action lawsuit. If you are thinking of buying an OPTIMAX don't. Their failure rate & problems are tremendous. On the other hand the new HONDA 4 stokes KICK BUTT. FINALLY an outboard that will last & not blow up everytime you look at them.<br />Please contact me with your problems with MERCURY & hopefully you will recieve some compensation for all your money lost & the aggravation their product has cost you.<br />Shilo Goracoff<br />shilo500@jet-the-net.com<br />:
