Re: Opti oil vs. merc two stroke oil

Opti oil is a synthetic blended oil and will not mix with regular 2 stroke non synthetic oil. Hollywood says it right on, nope! Also as stated, if you want to use regular 2 stroke oil and you are using Opti oil right now you have to run all that Opti oil out of your system and tank before you can us...

Re: driving rough water

Re: Anyone no someone that works on electrical?

If everything that is on your dash power switch is not working it is definitely the power supplied from the battery to your breaker panel or a fuse link on the red wiring leading to the power panel.

We rebuilt it and it did take quite a while to get everything done before we could put it back together. I don't suggest rebuilding it yourself unless you ha...
