Those metal reeds mean certain death for a 3.0 merc. It's not if, but when....

yes, I agree with you toostroked.
If I can pull this off, I will have another complete and running Optimax in the garage should I blow up a motor during the boating season.

Fiber reeds are the only way to prevent serious damage. I run 3 optis and a 200 EFI 2.5l merc. All have fiber reeds. Seems from my experiences the opti's send the reed parts to #4 cylinder. Don't know why....

I'm sure Chris Carson has the info and the reeds. Good guy, call him.. I run his reeds with no problems. EDIT....I run the regular reeds, not the hi po ones.

Wow, those are for drag and spins at 10,000
The petal count is 6 petals, so you use 2 side-by-side?

One pedal covers 2. Little stiffer that way, better to control flutter at high rpms. I use 2 petal on my 4 petal 2.5’s l, work very well

ForbesAuto,
Did you cut yours so that it fits or did Chris Carson deliver the reeds that way?
