The proverbial rocking horse poo - and two come up for sale within days of each other
A nice set up if anyone wants twins with Millers' :-)

Optimax 175 XL Purchased and owned by me from new in March 2009 direct from dealer from Barrus stock, and commissioned March 2009 . For sale having decided to 'downgrade' to a F150 4S

Well maintained and cared for and serviced annually by MJ Marine Services (authorized Merc dealer)

I have used Quickleen rigorously with all fuel tank fills and always flushed the engine after use - often with Salt-away. Both of these are intended to keep the internals as clean as possible - carbon build up or salt

All receipts and printouts available. The last service was 6th Feb at 902 run hours and she now has 971 showing on the smartcraft
At 902 hrs service :
501 at 0-749 rpm ( diving biased use as well as 2-3 weeks gentle crusing in the Ionian yearly )
151 hrs at 750- 2999 rpm
150 hrs at 3000-3999 rpm
85 hrs at 4000 - 4999 rpm
7.3 hrs at 5000-6249 rpm

I have maintained regardless of cost and the following major parts have been replaced during its life.

The compressor is the latest model and was changed out as a precaution as were the standard steel reeds which were changed for fibre. (Chris Carson Marine USA)
Replace Air compressor 06/12/2014 804 hrs #8M0060053

Waranty replaced items
