    Question Annual maintenance questions

    1. 2B532136
    2. 2018/Mercury/150 proxs
    3. 24p tempest
    4. 5400rpm
    5. 5/ 12-15psi
    6. Analog Instruments
    7. No

    All these questions are from annual maintenance sticky.

    Is the air compressor filter that is reffered to in post #1, part #853333T ??

    The manual calls to "replace all filters on the suction side of the fuel system." is the water seperating fuel filter the only one?

    you say to "replace water pump impeller and gaskets (at a minimum)", is this a yearly recommended item?

    is fogging oil or dfi oil better for storage?


    Thanks

    Welcome to BBC and thanks for reading the Announcement at top of forum!

    There's a wealth of information in the FAQ sticky topics, including maintenance, most of which is 100hrs OR annual whichever comes first.

    DO NOT use fogging oil in an Optimax, the "fogging" procedure is covered in the annual maintenance FAQ topic - Recommended Annual Maintenance or Winterization for Optimax Engines

    Check that and post back with any questions.

    Edit to add:

    That is current p/n for air filter according to Mercury's online parts catalog.

    Should get your WOT rpm closer to 5650 - 5700 for best performance.
