Folks,

I have an optimax on order .. before I ordered I did some quick
research which showed bad problems in the first 1-2 years with these
things blowing up.

Havent found too much later and assumed they are proven and work well
by now.

Whats the real story? Can one buy an Optimax and have no worries (at
least not more than other motors)?

Or is this a desaster waiting to happen.

We are talking about a 200 optimax sportjet.

Thanks for your advice ... I am getting a little nervous...

I owned a 1998 Merc Opti 135 and used it through the 2002 season, many
hours, with no problems. The guy who bought my old rig last season
hasn't had any problems with it since.
