MERCURY CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY
FOR OPTIMAX OUTBOARDS WITH WORLDWIDE CALIBRATION
Mercury Marine recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the
launch of the world's first direct injected two-stroke engine with
the introduction of a "worldwide calibration."
OptiMax was a pioneer product when it was introduced in 1996 as
a two-stroke engine that possessed many favorable attributes of
a four stroke outboard, including impressive fuel economy and reduced
emissions. It was widely accepted almost immediately, and has recently
climbed to new heights of popularity.
"The 10th birthday marks a highpoint for OptiMax," said
Mercury OptiMax platform manager Mark Klossner. "It is as strong
as ever and getting stronger. OptiMax is part of our product plan,
and our product lineup for many years in the future. As an outboard
technology, it is a great choice for customers with outstanding
performance, reliability and best-in-class fuel economy."
"This 10th anniversary of this great product is a proud moment
at Orbital," said Orbital CEO, Dr. Rod Houston. "This
product has remained competitive in a tough environment and we look
forward to continuing to support this flagship product."
