The world's performance leader
in DFI technology is proud to introduce a new family of efficient, powerful and low-emissions OptiMax engines for
2004 model year.
The new 1.5L OptiMax family will deliver 3-star C.A.R.B. emissions with a 2-stroke power curve. The family weighs
significantly less than comparable
fourstrokes making them the perfect choice to power aluminum fishing and smaller fiberglass boats such as bass,
bay and flats hull types.
The 1.5L OptiMax engine management functions are controlled by the exclusive PCM 555 processor. This processor
provides a level of engine management that is unmatched in the industry. The 555 processor also makes the 1.5L
family SmartCraft ready, allowing the boatoperator to take advantage of a myriad of engine information
right at their fingertips.
Other unique features include a 5-qt integral oil reservoir, providing easy oil level monitoring and boat rigging
in a compact package. An external oil reservoir will also be available.
The three engines feature a powerful 60-amp/756 watt belt-driven alternator system similar to that used by the
2.5L and 3.0L OptiMax models. This alternator system will provide unmatched charging capabilities for the boat
operator.
