That's Smartcraft Tachometer, Mercmonitor is a different instrument. Does he have an existing Smarcraft data cable from engine to dash? If not he will need one and possibly a junction box. His best...
Same here. :yesnod:
Happens to me too...I blame it on age. :laugh:
Stoner as far as I know, no strainer on the EFI.
It's an EFI guys, no compressor. :wink:
It might turn dark some as it ages but doesn't affect function. I buy Quickleen/Quickstor in quart bottles as I find them more convenient for my use.

Don't take references to minimum octane to mean higher is better, it is not, it simply means no less...
Would we all be so graced Don would be swamped until eternity. :laugh:
He has "touched" my Optimax, well, remotely. I shipped my rails, injectors, and reed plates to have him wave his magic wand -...

As Don said, ethanol fuel in non-ethanol safe fuel line. I replaced my fuel lines shortly after joining BBC and learning about correct line for ethanol. The original lines in my boat had red or...

My 150 Optimax was manufactured in 2008 and I've never checked fluid level, if it works and doesn't leak, as Joe said - leave it be. :wink:

Your engine won't benefit from higher octane. Problem is the how the statement is worded...minimum in this instance does not mean higher is better, it means no less than 87.
No. If that were true I'd have replaced lots of fuel system parts years ago.
Fact is, my Optimax still has the original pulse pump and black fuel line stub it left the factory with after 15yrs of...
See Don got you squared away, Rhonda is awesome! :thumb up2:
Are you using Quickleen in every tank of fuel?
Spark plug info in the FAQ, for your non-ProXS it is NGK IZFR5G - Oil, Battery, Spark Plugs, Fuel and Fuel Additive Recommendations
There are no acceptable substitutes, and for something as important as injectors, there's really only one choice - OEM.
