1 OPTIMAX THE TRUTH IS THE PROOF

2 True AccelerATIOn. True Speed. True EconOMy. True RelIAbilITy. True Value. OPTIMAX. The truth behind the World s best selling direct-injected outboard. There s more than one reason why OptiMax is a world best seller. We can talk about leading edge fuel economy, durability, unbeatable performance, the only industry 3 year factory Corrosion Warranty or Mercury Marine s leading 3+2=5 YEAR engine Warranty, or our extensive network of Specialist Marine Dealers. But when all s said and done The Truth Is The Proof. Take a look at the facts. Better still, for the ultimate proof, take an OptiMax out on the water. Head to head against even our nearest competitor, you ll quickly discover why OptiMax is all the proof you need. 2

4 True AccelerATIOn. True Speed. True AccelerATIOn* 150HP 11% quicker than Evinrude E-TEC tm * When it comes to true acceleration, it s all about power to weight. The OptiMax range combines lightweight, compact design with state-of-the art, direct-injection technology to produce optimum performance on the water. Thanks to an exclusive low pressure two-stage direct-injection process, a burst of air and fuel are mixed together forcing a fine mist of microscopic, atomised fuel and air particles directly into the cylinder. The particles burn quicker, cleaner and more completely KM/H 0-32 KM/H 3.3s 3.7s 5.3s 5.5s So right from the time you start it up, OptiMax is quickest out of the hole, every time. Head to head with the Evinrude E-TEC, the OptiMax direct-injected outboard accelerates 11% quicker Better 7.3 km/h faster than Evinrude E-TEC** For over 70 years Mercury Marine has proven time and time again, why we re #1 on the water. Once again, in head to head challenges, OptiMax consistently produces top speeds that are not just test proven, but race proven. True Speed OptiMax ** 150HP Evinrude E-TEC OptiMax 94.5 KM/H Evinrude E-TEC 87.2 KM/H Better OptiMax Evinrude E-TEC * Comparative tests by Mercury Marine R&D Department conducted May 2007 on a Lund Fisherman 1800 accelerating from 0-32 km/h (0-20mph) using an OptiMax 150hp and an Evinrude E-TEC 150hp. ** Comparative tests by Mercury Marine R&D Department conducted Jan 2010 on a Triton TR-18 Pro 18 Bass Boat using a Mercury OptiMax 150hp Pro XS (Top Speed 94.5 km/h (58.7mph)) and an Evinrude E-TEC 150hp HO (Top Speed 87.2 km/h (54.2mph)). 4

5 True EconOMy. True EconOMy* both CruISIng 46 KM/H 15% better fuel economy than Evinrude E-TEC* Superior technology means better efficiency - right across the range Direct Fuel Injection technology improves combustion Air compressor provides air for maximum combustion and efficiency Digital inductive ignition system ensure smooth starting OptiMax Evinrude E-TEC 9 KM/L 10.2 KM/L The ECM ( Control Module) electronically controls the engine by monitoring input sensors to adjust for changing conditions, ensuring optimum efficiency All this means less time at the bowser and more time on the water. Once again, the Truth Is The Proof At best cruise (46.6km/h) Mercury OptiMax delivers 15% better fuel economy than Evinrude E-TEC.* Better To see all comparative tests, visit: mercurymarine.com.au * Comparative tests by Mercury Marine R&D Department conducted Jan 2010 on a Triton TR-18 Pro 18 Bass Boat. At a cruising speed of 46.6km/h (29mph) Mercury OptiMax 150hp Pro XS recorded 2.72 km/l (6.4mpg) and Evinrude E-TEC 150hp HO recorded 2.38 km/l (5.6mpg). 5

6 True RelIAbilITy. Tested like no other outboard The ultimate test of an engine s worth is reliability. Used for extended periods, at wide-open throttle in harsh salt water and extreme sunlight, truly tests what you re made of. At Mercury, we test our engines mercilessly and use those results to make them even more reliable - The tougher the test, the tougher the engine. Our engines are put through tests such as vicious log strikes, saltwater spray booths, high humidity chambers and hot and cold water temperatures. That s just phase one of the torture. Next we run each engine rigorously for thousands of hours to prove it can stand the test of time. In fact, whatever you put the engine through, you can rest assured, we ve already done it. Once again, the Truth Is The Proof: Exclusive low pressure two-stage Direct-Injection that s just 80psi Unique precision and control powered by a Motorola processor, monitors 64 functions includes Engine Guardian Protection System The only 3 year Corrosion Warranty in the Marine Industry Automatic new engine run in mode 60-amp alternator for marine electronics Actual Mercury Marine log strike test on prototype six cylinder Verado. 6

7 True guarantee. The Only 3-yeAr corrosion WArrAnTy In The MArIne InduSTry. First we build a true marine engine, then we back it up with a true warranty. No other manufacturer offers: A 3-year Corrosion Warranty A leading 3+2= 5 year Factory Backed Warranty Support from the largest network of Specialist Marine Dealers in Australasia A lot of manufacturers talk about their corrosion resistant outboards but Mercury Marine is the only manufacturer who backs it up with the truth. There is a big difference in metals and how they react in saltwater. That difference can be the choice between years of boating fun or costly corrosion failures and high labour bills. Mercury s proprietary formula is melted at our foundry in Fond Du Lac WI, USA. We call it XK-360. It is an extremely low copper content aluminium alloy, which leads the industry in corrosion resistance. Mercury MarineÕs XK360 alloy is not just the industry leader, it is the industry. Exactly what you should expect from the only marine engine manufacturer 100% focused on designing and building engines for the water, for over 70 continuous years in the industry. 7

8 True choice AcrOSS The range. Whether itõs an engine for leisure, fishing, racing or to simply go places others canõt, the OptiMax and OptiMax Pro XS ranges are ready to meet every challenge. From a 75hp runabout to a 250hp rocket we have an engine in the range to suit most applications. All delivering true Mercury performance, technology and efficiency. With a long history of proven, powerful performance, OptiMax Pro XS was developed to rule the water. Designed by Mercury Racing, OptiMax Pro XS tapped into MercuryÕs tradition of speed, power and durability. The Pro XS features Carbon Fibre Reeds to control airflow into the engine crankcase. The Pro XS offers a Higher Wide-Open-Throttle RPM Operating Range, giving you more propeller options to maximize the performance of your boat. It s no wonder more Pro Anglers in the U.S. rely on Mercury OptiMax Pro XS for reliability, speed, awesome hole-shot acceleration and true economy. 8
