Now someone tell me where the switch is.........to dial it up to 250 hp!

225 Opti is known as a top speed motor - both etec and merc 225's putting out closer to 265 hp at the prop.

245, 265 would get them in trouble with the insurance industry as you have to be within 10% of the rated HP. As for turning it up, it isn't that simple on the new ETECS. Pretty sure there is porting differences in them like MERCURY did.
