    Optimax 250 ProXS oil pump

    Kevin, I would contact European Marine (Rhonda? In Parts) for the correct Part Number and pricing info. Don Weed from European is a Mercury Master Tech and a moderator for the 3.0L forums on Bass Boats Central. IMO, he is THE expert on these motors. I note that this Part Number has been...

    2006 Checkmate 2000 Pulsare BR Helm Switch Panel

    I replaced the switch panel... ...from my 2007 Pulsare 2100 BR with an anodized one from Dana Marine. It matches the bezels on my gauges, cleats and the like. I MAY still have the original. PM me if you're interested and I will take a look. If you send a pic I will confirm if it is the same.

    For sale 2008 21 ft. Pulsare BR 300 merc xs
