  1. Hi, I have a 2005 115 fuel injected optimax I bought new in 2008. I have trolled 877 hours at 2.5 or so miles per hour with no problems. it pushes a fiberglass aquasport 18ft Osprey center console that weighs in about one ton. Trolling gas consumption is about 4/10tenths of a gallon an hour. never a problem. It is much quieter than my old 50 two stroke yamaha ....in fact it sounds like a four stroke to me , just slightly noiser than a new four stroke. Runs very clean, no smoke. I run in at high RPMS back to port. Always have used non ethanol both 87 and 89 octane. Treated at every fill up with Mercury quicklean and mercury fuel stabilzer.

    Always keep the idle port up out of the water when trolling .

    I also dont want a troll motor because of the weight.

    Great Motor.

    Mike
