Opti s have had trouble with those damn coils since day one! It should have been a factory recall, but they never did it!

Apaprently it began after some 05s, as my Opti has no issues..and I had it thoroughly checked by the best!.

Dad's 175 pro xs, has been in the shop for 2 weeks now and they still cant find the problem. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif

Bo, where did your dad bring his boat?

Its been at pirates marine in Lockport for 2 weeks now.

Lakeside Marine is in morgan city I think!! The guy Todd there is supposed to be the Optimax guru! Idk personally, jst what i have heard!! Good Luck!
