Re: Optimax fuel rail and injector service
Good idea I’ll give them a call. I was there about three months ago to buy some bulk two cycle oil and the owner informed me that they no longer sell it in bulk because Mercury is no longer giving them discounts on 55 gallon drums. I’ve been a customer for over thirty years and he said nothing of th...

Technically by law the throwable flotation is supposed to be on the deck at all times. I don’t know anyone that has throwable flotation on their deck while fishing.
