re: Optimax - need diagnosis

You can get to them and need to use one of those swivel adaptors on your ratchet and a long extension helps alot especially on the left side.Call Rusty or Bill at C-Marine and tell them you have a tourney to fish and they will usually speed it up a bit if you still dont want to tackel it.


Now for the first issue in your post, how old are the hoses on your boat? Are the ethanol approved as well as the bulb? That shite will eat an old hose. Read on the hoses themselves and if not change that out. I had the inner walls collapsing on some older hoses and little chunks of hose was fouling up the injectors. All of the hoses under the cowling in that yr model are ethanol approved but check from the motor to tank and that bulb.

Good luck
