Bought this 2012 225hp Mercury Optimax at a Government auction. Sellor explained the government sells their outboards when they go out of warranty. I made a mistake when I bought the engine. It is a digital controlled Mercury SmartCraft engine.Engine was recently bench tested by lamb's yacht center in Jacksonville, Florida. They were only able to do a compression test and leak down. unable to test fault codes because incompatible wiring connection Optimax vs Verado. Compression test was done in cold condition.
