That's weird, Do they say Saltwater on the sides in blue writing? If so those are geared toward Saltwater enviroments and I have seen them on alot on center consoles down south (some up here) and have some different parts in them to prevent corrortion they probably have a flush on them as well. If it's a direct injected 2 stroke DI it's an Opti. What does your cowling say.

The motors are on a CC, they do have flush fittings on them , as far as on the sides just says mercury.

Gonefishin, Mine are two stroke direct injection but when running the serial number it came up as sea pro 225hp ? I thought it was a optimax? Can't find anything on mercurys website.

What's the difference between a 225hp mercury sea pro and a 225hp mercury optimax?

My last night fishing trip was about a month ago, it was a no moon night with three foot rollers, My boat has lots of extra lights and great electronics. But it was not to much fun.. Just a little sketchy there was a ton of crap in the water including a telephone pole!! We caught a couple fish and called it a night, a full moon and calm seas would make it much more fun. It's funny how your spotlight is just swallowed up by the darkness when you ate surrounded by water.

I have fished in this boat it's mint!!! Worth every penny!

Yesterday was 90'

Hi

I am out of port Ontario, about how old are they? how much wire on them?

Do you have any pics or model numbers

Thanks for your time

thanks for the input guys!

Do you guys ever have a problem getting the wire stuck on the side of the rollers because the tolerances are not tight enough

[ Post made via iPhone ]

Who has blue diamond 10' roller rods and 8'6" roller rods? Do you like them? Are rollers the way to go when running wire? Or should I stick to the cheaper blue diamond dipsy rod with no rollers? Planning on running dipsy's?

Also what reels are you running on them I was thinking okuma convector45's line counters?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated?

Stoney and steelhead thanks for the info ..I was curious I am running 225's I am planning on leaving one off but dragging to slow me down. Was curious about the build up..... Both of you seem ok with it so I will try not to worry. Thanks for the info!!!

tight lines

Does anyone troll with 2 stroke optimax motors? Will you foul the plugs trolling at 2.0. 2.6 knots?? For any leghth of time??? Thanks for any input!

Mark thanks for your reply,

I have 15' taco on my CC now, I will take your advice on running 8' poles, I will try the copper and hook on at the backing, how much copper150'? Do you use black for real eases?

Thanks again for the advise.

Does anyone run full size dipsy off there outriggers? can you use wire? Should a 10' dipsy rod be in the forward most rod holder in the gunwhale when using with the outrigger.

thanks for any help
