Default Mercury 300 XS Optimax

Just curious really, love my Verados, but does anyone know if there are plans in the works for these motors to run with DTS?

Glen?

Anyone? Maybe I'll just give Mercury Racing a call.

I was under the impression that you can buy any Opti/XS with DTS as an option...?

Just got off the phone with Mercury Racing, as I have had a couple of people ask me about DTS on the 300XS, response was that there are no plans of either introducing DTS with these motors in Miami or in the immediate future.

I agree that there should be some consistency as the 225 do allow DTS.

Thanks guys.
