    250 Air Comp?

    I have a 2007 250 PRO XS on a 21X2. 64hrs

    When I'm setting at idle or in gear at idle it seems the air pump or compressor is louder than it should be.

    When I'm in my boat and I there are other boats around their Optis sound like more of a buzzing noise.

    My friend has a 05 225 Opti and I cant hear his air pump when I'm in his boat.

    It has sounded like this since it was new.

    Is this normal?

    Thanks
    Jeff

    My 250 Pro xs compressor is louder than my 225 Pro xs.. I am not sure if the 250 requires more air or what it is but it is louder..

    The 250 ProXS will have a bit more noise from the compressor (and reed slap) at idle.
