Is anyone having problems with the plastic cover plates breaking or falling apart on the sides of their Mercury Opti Max motors ?
I have replaced them twice.
Am I alone with this problem or is anyone else experiancing the same problem?

Sounds like you're alone on this one Ron......![]()
If they're like the ones on the 250XB they seem kinda flimsy; seems there should be more holding them on than one screw.
a lot of times when people replace them they will inadvertently break the little plastic clips on them without knowing.
Yep, the are cheezy...

I thought I had read a earlier thread on this issue from last year.
Do these covers do anything except make the engine look neater.
Mine are almost all gone.
I had talked to Mercury and they said they had no record of problems with those cover...
So am I getting smoke blown up my......!
Or is there really a problem with these engine cover plates ?
