Dear Mercury Racing Outboard Dealer:
Mercury Racing is pleased to announce the release of the next generation of Mercury OptiMax - the 200XS ROS (Race Offshore) and 200XS SST (Super Sport Tunnel) outboards. These new race models feature a Gen 2, 2.5-liter OptiMax powerhead which combines components from the Mercury Racing OptiMax 2.5XS outboard and the Mercury Racing-engineered OptiMax 175 Pro XS outboard.
The OptiMax 200XS ROS (Race Offshore) is the official power of U.I.M. Class 3C offshore racing, a highly competitive single-engine mono hull offshore racing class which competes throughout Europe.
The OptiMax 200XS ROS will be produced only in the short shaft “SS” 15-inch drive shaft configuration with the 1.75:1 Sport Master gearcase. Both right-hand and left-hand rotation models will be available. Models are intended for single- or twin-engine installations. Right-hand rotation models feature a Sport Master gearcase with a cambered skeg – a natural for single-engine applications such as outboard drag racing.
