Optimax fouling plugs
My friend owns a 2002-200HP Optimax. It is on its 3rd power head and 2nd gearcase. Yes he runs the chit out of it on a Ranger Center Console. It has fouled plugs at idle and in low speed no wake zones since new. Motor runs great the rest of the time. Does anyone have any imfo that can solve the plug fouling issue. He is getting tired of carrying around and changing spark plugs all the time. Thanks

I would get rid of it and go with a standard EFI 225. I had a '97 225, and did some mods for around 340 HP still stock pistons and bore!! I put over 1200 hours on that motor and sold it and it is still running today!! That year Opti and EFI's were pretty bad for some reason.?
