Title: Any Optimax Owners on here?
Post by: Lowedog on June 12, 2011, 09:15:12 PM: Just bought a boat that has an Optimax on it and was wondering if anyone can tell me what the warning light with the piston means.

From what I could find online this is a common theme. Pretty sure this is the MAP sensor. Thing is that the 2 male wires are the same color and one of the female wires is a different color. May be that it doesn't matter which is plugged into which. :dunno:
