| I have a 150 Optimax on my Ranger style bass boat. I troll with it on occassion. Always make sure that I run a concoction of QuickKleen with the gas when I'm doing that. And when I'm done trolling, I let the motor run wide open for at least 5 minutes to try to run the excess oil out of the engine. I'm not sure if it actually does, but it makes me feel better.
Outside of that obvious "con", when compared to a kicker motor, I have very little control over speed. I can get it between 2.5 and 3.0 with no problem, but running a steady speed is tough. | |
