All-new OptiMax 150 ProXS - more speed, less fuel
Mercury is proud to announce its all-new OptiMax 150 ProXS - the latest addition to the industry's best line-up of performance direct-injected outboards.
Just like the rest of the ProXS range, the new 150 delivers on the OptiMax promise of higher top speed, increased acceleration and enhanced boat performance.
It's also been given a VELS 3-STAR rating for ultra-low emissions.
In testing, the 150 ProXS more than lives up to its name.
Compared to the competitors' high output 150 engines, the ProXS is almost 8 km/h faster at top speed.
Compared to the standard 150 OptiMax, the 150 ProXS delivers another 4 km/h at top speed while still producing the blistering hole shot associated with all OptiMax engines.
Impressively, this improved performance does not burn more fuel. The 150 ProXS boasts better fuel economy than the competition throughout the power band - but especially at cruise speed - which means more time on the water.
At just 195 kilograms, the 150 ProXS is a lightweight with its 2.5 litre, V-6 design delivering an outstanding power-to-weight ratio.
Available in both 20" (L) and 25" (XL) shaft lengths, it's the ideal choice for a wide range of fishing and recreational applications.
The 150 ProXS is an outstanding choice for boaties looking to re-power and move up from their current 150 / 170hp carburettor or EFI engine. Not only will the OptiMax 150 ProXS deliver massively improved performance, its mechanical throttle and shift controls means the cost of re-powering is kept down.
Engines used for recreational purposes (Non Racing) are covered by Mercury's fantastic 3+2=5 Year Warranty.
All engines are also protected by Mercury's 3 Year Corrosion Warranty - something no other marine engine manufacturer offers.
